Tangled Skates in Playoffs

Don Smith from Hollister, United States

Hi Ivan,
I'm at f/8 because I am hooked into a strobe system. It consists of (8) 2400WS Speedotron packs and quad heads which sit in the rafters. Everything is triggered with Pocket Wizard remotes. Check the ISO - I'm at 200! Ambient only readings would be around ISO 800, 1/500th at 2.8. I am at a sync speed of 1/200th. It is the strobes that freeze the action!

Hi Ivan,

One other reason I use f/8 is that I am shooting with the Canon 100-400mmL lens. I've tried it at f/5.6 and it is not as sharp as f/8. I actually use this lens a lot with landscape photography at f/11 and higher and have much success!
