I edited colors, the luminosity, but neither the contrast, nor the highlights or the shadows. I described in detail my reasons for this transition from Lightroom over to Capture one in a previous post.įirst I loaded the RAF raw file in Capture One. Since april 2018, I use Capture One for my raw editing. You may see my other pics of the game here. I chose an icehockey picture I took in France, during a game between Meudon and Courbevoie. I wanted to shared my tries and conclusions with you in this post. I tried these other softwares and compared the results. I selected one of my images, listed the points I wished could be better handled, and looked around for better solutions.

Recently, I zoomed into the noise and sharpness / crispness aspect of my sports images. It can be a piece of gear, a camera, a part of my development process. I know it, but I prefer to have sharp pictures with noise rather than a blurry moving player on a noiseless image.įrom time to time, I look at one of my processes and see if it is still uptodate. So there is a lot of numerical noise in my sport raw files. In gyms, I often have to set high or very high values like 6400 or 12800…īy the way, I wrote a post about my settings with my Fuji camera when shooting sports photography a few weeks ago. Here are the lenses I shoot with for sports : Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR (24-70 équivalent zoom in 24×36) et Fujinon XF50-140mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR ( 70-200 equivalent zoom in 24×36). Moreover, I also use the largest possible aperture, f2.8, as theses places are never lit enough. Players move fast, so I usually set the shutter speed to 1/1000s on my Fujifilm X-T2. I shoot sports in gyms or local arenas a lot : basketball, icehockey, handball, roller derby…
