Girls' Volleyball Playoff Game

[GvilleRick]

Last night was the first playoff game for our girls' volleyball team and they advanced to the next round with a 3-0 sweep (although the first two sets were tight.) I just got a Samyang135mm f/1.8 so I experimented a bit last night using a different lens for each set starting with the Samyang in the first set.

• ILCE-7RM5
• SAMYANG AF 135mm F1.8
• 135.0 mm
• ƒ/1.8

I switched to my Sony 70-200 f/2.8 GM OSS ii for the second set.

For the third and final set I used my Sigma f/1.4 DG DN

• 85.0 mm
• ƒ/1.4

For the post game photo I grabbed my Sigma 28-75.

Nice shots, but that kid on the far left with the blue hat in the last frame is ugly as hell!

I'm really hoping that's his missus who wanted to be in the photo. This is going to be so awkward..!

I was pretty close. Either right behind the team bench or on the front row just a few feet from the court if I was shooting towards the home bench (as in photos 4, 5, &7.
