Let there be light

Ever try shooting wrestling in high school gyms with bad lighting or lack of it? How about trying to capture images where they turn off all the overhead lights, and lower one flood light from the ceiling that’s positioned over the circle of the mat. No light, bad light…no photos...period. Depending on the number of cheerleaders and where they are allowed to sit, I either set up two to three remote strobes, two at the front corners and one in back.  These lights are triggered at the same time using a Canon Speed light transmitter ST-E2's. The lighting didn’t turn out too badly and it didn’t brother the wrestlers at all. When the lights are turned on In other area high school, you can get by shooting ISO 800 at f2.8 and 250th second.
