@yuri

Wondering if you were able to shoot other sports during the Doha Asian Games? Would have loved to shoot equestrian. :)

equestrian: yang isang yan ang di ko mapasuk-pasok dahil everytime i intended to move in to the venue e umuulan. so doon ako sa 2nd option, which is get into the indoor hall events.

I heard the weather wasn't that ideal. :Angry:

sorry, no martial arts for me those 9 days. :-) ... my mistake ... i did not buy tickets for judo, wushu, taekwondo, wrestling, & karate early. they're all sold out up to the finals.

No football pics? I want my Younghusbands ;p

A grand total of.....18 medals

3 cue sports: we have got 19 medals. those were from 18 events. we have got 2 medals (gold & a silver) (9 ball pool - singles), another silver from an 8 ball pool - singles.

4 boxing: got 2 gold from fly-51kg & bantam-54kg, a bronze from light fly-48kg & another bronze from light-60kg.

1 golf: a bronze from men's individual.

2 karate: a bronze from men's individual kata, & a silver from women's kumite-53kg

5 taekwondo: 2 silver medals from men's-52kg & 67kg, and 3 bronze from men's-67kg, womens's-67kg & 63kg.

2 wushu: 1 gold from men's-52kg & a bronze from 70kg.

Um I think out of 36, we ranked 18 or 19 so...yeah I guess it's good enough considering we don't get full support from the government

:-), not so bad we were firstly positioned at the second half of the 36 participating countries.

hopefully, this 16th ... babawi rin sila! :-)

thanks! man...great job keep it up!:) btw can i ask a question? what's an ideal lens to use for mostly indoor sports and a little bit of outdoor sport? im planning on buying a lens and i can't decide which one to buy given im on a budget. anyway here are my options:
1. canon 28-135mm IS USM
2. sigma 24-70mm f2.8 EX DG
3. canon 55-200mm 4-5.6 USM
feel free to suggest some other lenses:)

Thanks in advance for your help!:)

i can't give you canon products for their lenses & DSLRs.

pero, you might have at least the lenses with bigger aperture (the fast lenses). fast lenses start with a 2.8 or f/2.8 (but lenses with 2.8's common to sports photogs). usually ang common lenses are the 80-200mm, 70-200mm (these are fast zoom lenses with f/2.8 maximum opening) & one with fix 300mm focal length for telephotos.

you might have the super telephotos with fix focal length start with 400mm, 600mm, 800mm, 1200mm and there's a 200-400mm super telephoto zoom lens.

prices are not forgivable at first. :-) or i may say acceptable. but the zoom lenses start 1600USD and so.

another with fix 200mm focal length is very good sa indoor hall games but this has a f/2.0 maximum aperture.

yes, your 3 lenses posted can get action photos. 2nd is the best of the 3 choices cuz it has f/2.8 aperture.

Depends on what sport you plan to shoot... definitely ideal for indoor sports would be a lens with a constant 2.8 aperture. Based on the lenses you listed, the Sigma 24-70 would be your best choice. :)

yuri and rosalie,

You rock guys! ok then its done..i'll be getting the sigma lens:)
how about the reach? how far can i reach with 70mm maximum zoom using a 350D body?
:) i'll keep those lenses in mind yuri..you never know 10 yrs from now i might be able to buy them..lol!

Thanks again:) hope to shoot with you guys when i get my lens so you can give me tips:)

@allan

that is a OK ... :-) we hope you get them as fast as before the 10th year. :-)

70mm --- our answer to that is a question. how close would you like your subject in your viewfinder? if that is a nikon mount you add 50% to 70mm ... so that would be 105mm.

to be in the range, a 10-13m distant of the subject (person, medium size animal) could fill your frame. :-) mmmm, try it again. i might be mistaken. :-)

@allen

You're welcome! Good luck on the purchase. Btw, test the lens well to make sure you get a sharp copy.:)

hahaha! no comment:)

galing yuri! idol!:)

@Yuriboi... now we're talking... galing-galing sports shooting sulit na sulit long tele-lens mo.

@Rosalie... it seems that you're into horse/equestrian shooting that much... I have a lot ot horse jumping photos which i really cannot judge as appropriate or not... I've been reviewing a lot of photos in equestrian magazines. Is there any guide at all in photographing horse jumps/equestrian competitions? (e.g., what angles to take, what portions of the horses and riders to highlight). Feel free to browse and comment on my horse jumping/equestrian photos...

Hi Yuri - nice shots.

I was there too, unfortunately my DSLR was confiscated by Security officers (they say because I had a pro gear but without a press ID - though I insisted it was not a pro gear, they said my white lens was a give away). They suggested that I use a P&S instead.

When I got my gear back, I removed the battery grip, changed the lens to a black one (just in case I get caught again) and placed it inside a bag with just a cut-out for the lens and was able to shoot a few :) .

Gina, kumusta? thanks.

sayang di tayo nagpangagkita man lang muna sa DPP. pero kung pupunta ka ng thailand sa december e baka nandon ako pakalat-kalat. :-) kaya yun. heto nagaaral ako ng konting thai slangs. :-)

dec 2 ko ito kinunan si roel ramirez. natsempo lang rin. share mo rin ang iyong mga nakunan.

ako rin sinita nila, pero sabi ko hindi ako accredited photog. i paid my tickets and sa spectators' area lang ako. palagi akong sinisita nila. pero dala-dala ko ang tickets conditions na kung ano lang ang pedeng dahilan kaya tayo kumukuha ng sports pics. ang hindi lang ako nakahirit e sa basketball. talagang di ako pinapasok. kasi di ko pa alam yung isasagot sa kanila. :-), nung nalaman ko e yun, pasok lahat ang reason-outs ko.

Yuri - Just dropped by to say hi and congratulate you on your doha experience. Just a small comment though, while the moments of capture are good, there seem to be some soft focusing and underexposure going on in some of the photos...understandably, low light situations require adjustments in shutter speed, iso, etc....but great captures nontheless....

tama ka leni. these photos were taken in purpose. experimental kung baga. :-) palusot pa ba? seriously sinasadya sila. pre-focused ako doon sa front edge ng vault kung baga sub-object ko si roel ramirez. :-)

yun din ang comment ko sa soft focusing ng 70-200mm.

salamat from dropping by and observation. :-) wag kang madadala. that helps our pinoy photogs sa sports shooting.

My i ask what systems and lense did you use for those sport photos? ... Curious lang po :)

My i ask what systems and lense did you use for those sport photos? ... Curious lang po :)

RNOLD, musta?

i used the d2h for most shots with the 70-200mm & 17-35mm with both 2.8 max-aperture. the other shots with the combination of a TC-14E II teleconverter to the 70-200mm.

your pics look a bit dark?

your pics look a bit dark?

thanks for the comment but it is digital! ... :-) we may adjust whatever we preferred ... ... maybe my monitor lits brighter here. :--)
