@@KandiKloverYes I agree. They think their really hip wondering around. I simply cannot shoot images unless there is an underlying story that drives those pictures.
Very good video, interesting to see the video with the added shots put in, great idea, thank you. Would like to know more about ISO, speed and f stops etc please
Do you find yourself shooting in AV or TV with split fields (sun/shade) and just play around with the ISO for either side or what's your practice when jumping from sunny to shade sides.
Yeh but try shooting a night game under the lights were you have to crank up the ISO while maintaining the high shutter speed. I shoot high school American football games at night. This is just too easy with plenty of outdoor light.
High school stadiums tend to have poor lighting vs pro stadiums. The light level is lower, inconstant across the field, and there is pronounced color flicker. Even the best DSLR don't do so well with it.
Hey Allan, are you cropping these images in post production, or are they straight from camera? Also, are you using a crop sensor or full frame body? Thank you!
You were able to get a full body shot of players with that body and lens? Must have been far away enough? I sometimes have trouble getting full body shots with my 7d and 400mm as the crop factor gets me to 520. That camera sounds so fast compared to my 7d too. But I guess, 2.8 glass, 10 fps in the sun is quick.
Mark I is about 4lbs heavier, and it's Image Stabilizer is a little less effective. Image quality is near identical. Buy the best one you can afford, taking into account repairs can be costly on either.
hello meanwhile I compliment you for the photos. I was wondering what kind of exposure you use for this kind of photo (if partial or spot) and if shots with the central point for autofocus? Finally the shots in the video are original jpeg or RAW were processed?
+Allan Storkborg Thanks for the answer. How do you shoot in RAW and converted to Jpeg in no time? I use 1DX and except in rare cases where I have more time for sports photography prefer to shoot jpeg to have suffered the images ready and sends them to the agency. Uses some particular program that makes it easier for you?
+Ernesto Vicinanza I shoot both a JPEG and a RAW file. I send the JPEGs to some clients who prefer the speed of delivery, and I process The RAW files to more demanding clients. Those types of clients usually Can wait a little more.
Thank you much. Do you have any other tips for shooting soccer? Which focusing mode you like? I'm not an expert on the sport by any means but I shot some MLS this season and I had some focus issues. I've got the 1DX mark 1.
well this video was pretty fckn awesome ... I'm considering upgrading to the 1Dmkiv for this very reason. One question tho, aren't you sitting the side where substitutes warm up ... you'd have players running across your lens every 5mins in the second half, no? ... keep up the good work tho!
I know this was posted some time ago but I am getting ready to pull the trigger on buying this lens (I believe this is the original "Mark I"). I will pair it with an R6 and 7D Mark II. Is it still worth paying 3000-4000 USD for this lens?
Yes. This is the Mark I. If it’s in great condition I believe it still would be worth paying around 3000-3500 USD. However a lens this old may be difficult to acquire in even decent condition. Furthermore the tech inside is from the late 90’s. I would wait, save up, pay some more and get the Mark II. 😊
@@allanstorkborg4075 , Ok, I will take my time and perhaps get the Mark II instead. Your images were so sharp though and the sensor in the R6 is so good I thought maybe version I would suffice.
@@michaelatherton6055 The optics is still insanely sharp, but the AF speed may be lacking compared with the Mark II. If AF speed is not a factor, you might still be pleased with the Mark I.
I currently use a 70D on a 300mm f2.8 and you can get a great range from the opposite end of the pitch, even a pitch like Wembley. I want to get a 1Div just because it has a stronger ISO and will allow me to get better photos from night games (or at least, that's the theory!)!!
Hey 👋 my name is abel and I’m a 17 years old photography enthusiast based in Antwerp Belgium 🇧🇪. I want to buy a new camera and i have an interest on this. And im just wondering if it’s still usable in 2019. I mainly shoot portrait and landscape. Thank you :)
The 1D IV is a pretty good sports camera today, but the 7D II is probably a little better for less money and weight. For portrait and landscape, both those cameras are fine, but you'd be better of with a 6D I or II, or a 5D II III or IV. I have a 5D IV and 7DII as this gives me the best of both worlds and having two cameras can be very handy. I owned a 1D IV in the past and it was great, but those cameras are getting older (10 years) and repair support is fading. Still cool though.
A recording of how a bad photographer would cover a match. You have the backs if players, shots with faces covered and shots with no ball. My editor would laugh you out if the office.
Obviously, but if you are making a video showing how a pro covers a game then this isn't it. I know he doesn't say pro but you don't just walk into games and have a 300mm 2.8 prime if you're doing it as a hobby. Also a 1D is pro level gear. First of all let me say that I wouldn't class myself a pro but I have worked for 7 years for the local press, covered games for the Essex FA (UK), covered playoff games at Wembley Stadium, celebrity v pro charity games, England ladies matches and had a picture in Getty Images gallery in their "life between the sticks" goalkeeper exhibition (runner up) as well as covering freestyle motocross and worked for London councils at the youth games as well as air shows for aviation magazines so I do know what I am talking about. A pro wouldn't bother with general header pics in the middle of the pitch as they simply wouldn't get used unless you are at the game specifically to cover a particular player (very rare occurrence). Goals or major incidents sell. Also he could have shown us any of the pictures he captured on the day, why show us bad ones? Very strange. I could go into more details how this isn't how a pro would cover the game but I'll just say this isn't the way any pro I know would cover a game. Even covering the major events in a game pictures run into 700 or 800 you wouldn't even give headers and tackles in the middle of the pitch card space in my experience. Also, if you're not wiring the pictures in live (no evidence of this in the video) and are going through them at home or in the office you wouldn't take hundreds of shots more than you needed to its just pointless, more to download, more to go through, more to store etc. To me this is a video of someone who loves what he does, is excited and proud and wants to show off a little and there is nothing wrong with that but it's not the way a typical pro would work.
+Fabio Machado This is professional photography, the idea is to increase your odds of getting the perfect shot, not to test your skill and/or measure dicks.
1000x better than the videos of people just talking about the lens.
or doing stupid "street photography" hipster crap. Yeah you really need a 1dx camera body for that one.
Agree!! I hate those bla bla bla videos
@@KandiKloverYes I agree. They think their really hip wondering around. I simply cannot shoot images unless there is an underlying story that drives those pictures.
So many samples. Exactly what I want in a camera video.
I love the first photo like some sort of surreal magical alien ritual dance lmao
I hope one day i will be like you sir.. salute! New subscriber
Bang bang, he shot me down!
because of u, now i want one of these lens... thx for sharing with us
Hi Allan, please share more videos like this one. It's kind of a motivation and satisfying for a beginner like me
very sharp lens .. thank you for sharing
Great video , just what i wanted as i am a football fan also!
Fantastic video!
It's great! Once I had to film a football match for b-roll and it was a challenge to get the shoot.
Those were some good shots.
Great lens !
8 years later and I am watching this🔥🔥
How i wish @Allan would just donate that lens to me 😊😊
Thank you for showing your view and then the final image!!! This really helps!

If only I could buy this for my senior year and use it for the yearbook :(
Daniela Miranda What... why?
Do you find yourself shooting in AV or TV with split fields (sun/shade) and just play around with the ISO for either side or what's your practice when jumping from sunny to shade sides.
Eric Tillotson That varies. Most of the time it’s AV at f/2.8 and then auto ISO 😊
What settings do you use? Shutter priority I guess but how do you choose it? And do you let ISO on automatic or set a defined value?
Neonto I use aperture priority. That way I always know I get the most shallow depth of field. I set ISO manually.
Allan Storkborg wow that was fast thank you very much.

Hey Allan, are you cropping these images in post production, or are they straight from camera? Also, are you using a crop sensor or full frame body? Thank you!
I crop some times. The camera used was an 1D Mark IV which was a 1.3 crop sensor.

I sometimes have trouble getting full body shots with my 7d and 400mm as the crop factor gets me to 520. That camera sounds so fast compared to my 7d too.

+JCEppley I have a 1D also and I was afraid he was too far and would need to crop to fill the frame!
Hi, please can you tell me how to best setting AF for my 1dmk3 ? I like to do sports photo , i have 1dmk3 and 400 2,8 Is .Thanks so much.
me too good lens and body.
What’s the difference 400!f2.8 l is vs mark ii which should I buy thanks

When you're pro shooting soccer what shutter speed do you typically like to shoot at?
The Professional All between 1/640 and 1/2000

r u shooting tv o av priority?. for the changing o lighting, right is sunny, left is under shadow
Mostly AV set at 2.8. Shutterspeeds varies from 1/4000 in the sun to 1/800 in the shadows. ISO was at 200, I believe.
Nice Pictures amigo. But AV would be Aperture in Nikon?
Correct
what settings did you use? pls answer if you are still alive - thx
