Sheffield Boxing Show Pics

Ok so ive finally got round to going through the photo's for Sheffield Lane top Boxing club's show. (1500 odd and still editing :( ). Its my first time shooting a boxing match and quite enjoted it, will definately do it again should the opportunity arise.

I got the opportunity as i had used the clubs Gym for a shoot and owed a favour to the owner Keith. So i went along armed with my trusty Nikon D700 and a few different lenses. I used primarily the 70-200 f2.8, and a 24mm f2.8 prime ( Which i actually think i prefered the dynamics of for this). I have to admit that the 24mm f1.4 looks really tempting to me right now. Only one obsticle and thats the price! But i do find myself shooting with the 24mm a lot more recently.

For Some reason Black and White photography and boxing are a match made in heaven and i just love the shadows and grit that shows through, even with the kids boxing. The Nikon D700 performed as it should in really terrible lighting but every time i take a picture at ISO 6400 it amazes me the way it hardly shows any noise, and the noise it does show looks like film grain. (Great!)

You can see a lot more pics on my website in the client area www.andrewscottclarke.com or on my facebook page Andrew scott clarke- facebook
