Volleyball: FBA Middle School hosts Marco Island Charter


I wanted to try some more Volleyball pix, and since the rain cancelled soccer this afternoon, it seemed a good time to shoot a few at FBA where the Lions were hosting Marco Island Charter School.

I caught a few minutes of the B team action and then some of the A Team - Silver Division. (I was told there is also a Gold Division).

I didn't get many, but take a look if you have girls on either team. I am working on "technical" aspects. Today I was shooting "vertically" to try and get more of the action larger on my sensor. I was also using a faster shutter speed for better stop action, but pushing my ISO sensitivity higher. For you, I was trying to get a visual relationship between players and the ball.

Later Monday night I shot some High School action at Palmetto Ridge. The play itself is more "verticle" with higher jumps and shots. I also noted more rhythm to the play, as more often than not, each side used its three touches to set up strategic returns. The younger players have not yet achieved that level, and as a result, the play is a bit more erratic, and for the photographer, harder to anticipate for shot making.

If you see some student you know, let them or their family know you saw it on Naplespix.com!

Thanks,

Mike
