Hi all
I'm new to the site and would appreciate any advice from anyone photographed a boxing event. I was invited to a boxing event not as the main photographer but to simply take as many photos as I wanted and was able to stand ringside.
My camera is a D700 and D7200 using a 50mm f1.8 lens. I put my D700 ISO 6400 f2.8 and with no flash, the shutter speed I was getting varied up to 250. I didn't want to go above ISO 6400 in case the photos came out too poor to edit the noise out also the lighting wasn't too good, I do shoot in RAW. When viewing my photos on the monitor they were quite good but what I did find is where I focused on the boxer facing me using AFC d9, maximum shutter speed was quite sharp but his opponent wasn't as sharp as I had liked.
I did swap for my D7200 with 50mm but was at times too close so switched back to D700
Any advice on what settings would improve the quality of all round sharpness
I did submit this thread by mistake in the Photography Business ( My apologies)
Many thanks
