Post your best current shots

Something different indeed! Looks like a fun photo shoot. What did you use for lens, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO?

Thanks. I edited the original post. I likely could have/should have cranked the speed up to 1/800th or 1/1200th, not unlike BIF, and sacrificed ISO if I wanted to freeze everything. But, I was wondering if I could get some interesting motion blur. As my goal wasn't the boxing, rather capturing "the event" for the family.

Nice work Brant, looks like you certainly captured the event. I'm guessing it wasn't easy as the hands move very fast, the boxers are dancing on their feet the whole time and the lighting was likely not that good.

So, I am supporting a project in Stockholm, Sweden. It really has mostly been work and meetings so far, but if I get over again, I'll need to look up Claes. I did sneak out after hours to walk around "Gamla Stan" or Old Town, which is really very nice. And, for a city, Stockholm really does it up for Christmas, I was impressed.

I'll be entering one of these in the weekly contest, hope you do not mind the double post. My thought is to have a complete collection here.

Thanks for viewing....Brant

Wow I reallly like those street shots especially. And the starburst effect at f/14 works nicely too!

Thanks Zach. It was beautiful. I did not have to enhance colors at all. The sky was amazing.

Great series Brant! My favorite is the last one from ”Kindstugatan” (https://www.google.com/maps/@59.3243...2!8i6656?hl=sv).
Even if I live in the southern parts of Sweden it’s not really near Stockholm (I live roughly a 4 hour drive south of Stockholm), but if the opportunity arises it would be great to meet you IRL. Good luck with your Stockholm project!
