Volleyball Pictures Here

[PirateonGadsden]

Let's share our volleyball pictures. I've learned to hold my framing to capture the post point celebration.

This is a compilation from about 30 frames. I extracted the ball and server (Lily playing for UWF) from them made her transparent (about 50%) except at her high point and placed on the final panel. I went back and reduced the number to increase separation. Fun project.

Here are a few from Southern Oregon University. This game was a first round of the NAIA (small college league) national championships. The SOU team will be going to the tournament later this week.

Last time I played volley ball I blew out my ACL.

Bad memories for me. But that was 50 years ago.

It's been about 4 years since I dusted off the camera for volleyball... now I'm shooting my son's team instead of my daughter's.

13U Boys -- first tournament.

All in good humor
Two things - 1. We both remember side out scoring, playing to 21 and who the hell was a libero! 2. It might be a bad memory - but hey, you can remember it and being old as dirt that can't be bad

I was just telling a current player about "side out" scoring back in the day, and she couldn't believe it. I always think when current players/fans yell, "side out" if they really know what the significance was as opposed to now.

Thankful to be able to shoot a post season all area all-star showcase last Saturday with some Black Friday equipment upgrades. I will have to chase down some travel/club ball matches to work out all the kinks since our high school season is over.

A couple images from the recent FHSAA Class 1A state final match with a 200mm f/2.0. Thankfully I get to follow multiple area teams, so usually at least one goes deep in the post season.

Found myself at a volleyball tournament and tried very hard to capture the action (and emotions).
The dynamics are way different then at soccer, which I photograph a lot.
These two were the best of the series.
Aparently the lighting in the venue was 'challenging'.

Things to prepare for a next time:
MFA the 35-350 lens
Experiment with lower shutterspeeds, to get the ISO a bit lower.

...

Part of shooting volleyball is knowing how the arms move (very predictable) and then planning your shots for individual players so you don't have arms across faces. Took me a while to realize that I should be on their left for the serve. Toward the end of last season I realized I didn't have a serving shot of this one girl so I focused on her next turn... and it turned out she serves leftie, so I needed to be by the scoring table! Arrgh.
