I'm not an expert or in any position to give advice, but here goes.

1. The photos are all slightly underexposed. This is because the camera sees the white clothes and thinks it's bright and deliberately underexposes. Next time try adding some exposure compensation, like +0.3 or +0.7

2. Fill the judo guys in a more interesting position. In the 2nd picture there is too much space around the players, and the ref in the back is stealing the attention. The background of ppl is also distracting. After all, your goal is to capture the intenseness of the match, so the main focus should be the guys.

3. The 3rd picture cut off too much of the competitors, and framed a little weird, I don't really know what to look at or where to focus my attention.

4. Show the faces more! Faces, especially in sports, often have a lot of emotion, so they can add a lot to the pictures.

5. Move around! All 3 shots were shot at the same spot...


Happy shooting!

Amazing shots man. Just awesome. I love the set of 3, they're not related, but they flow nice together! Sounds so lame, but I feel a sense of harmony seeing those pix. Thanks.

thanks for the advice. the first 2 tips are really useful. i can't really do much about the last 2 though unfortunately. really hard to capture the big throws, they don't always face you. especially right handers. left handers are the best to shoot. the following pic, the guy is a lefty.

and it was kinda hard to move around. this pic will show how crowded the mat area is in the background.




have a tourney coming up this sat, so thanks for the help liquidturbo.

i downloaded Viveza2 from NIK software(15 day trial) and am finding it extremely handy. what Lightroom can do so easily for toning and sharpness, Viveza does the same for light and colours, especially in areas you only want adjusted. it works as a plugin through LR or PS, or Aperture(Apple). the adjustments are so natural (when done within reason) i'm already thinking of buying this.

probably old news for a lot of you guys, but if you haven't heard of it, give it a try!

You went to Lighthouse park without me? How were the waves? Crashing hard? Semi hard? Barely at all? Wanna go again? I might go there tomorrow but around 3-5ish pm.

A few from the dog park today...

Dusty was chasing this pug around and around until the pug suddenly looped back to stare Dusty down... Dusty skidded to a halt like he was in a cartoon



Poor Groucho had dewclaw surgery last weekend and is still wearing his boots to protect his bandages... poor guy SO wanted to run and play and chase, but the vet says he has to be low-exertion for a few more days



Loved the shot of this beagle...
