High school volleyball in dimly lit gyms across the western suburbs, I bow to you out of sheer fear. IHSA officials at St. Edwards High School in Elgin refused to allow a photographer to do his/her job thus prohibiting strobes or flashes of any kind to be used during league play tonight. I protest silently and putter my way to an alarming iso of 2400, a 2.8 aperture and a shutter speed of 1/250th on my D3. The results are scary. If I don’t breathe, blink an eyelash or attempt to crank my engine and think, an internal thing I’ve been known to do, I fool myself that I can possibly create something foul enough to pass as usable. I enjoy a shallow depth of field in sports often, but it’s a narrow pass when you introduce low light and action that actually moves fast, faster than I can record with my camera.
