Boxing presentation pic. X100S 3200 250th at 2.8

Love how it makes a warm scene out of a grimey dimly lit hall.

Thanks. Think x100 series are perfect for the announcements etc. Got some OK boxing ones as well but still need to practice

I really like this picture. It tells a human story, nicely observed. For me, this is what photography is all about. Where were you standing to get this with an X100? Right up against the ropes?

Thanks. i was literally up against the ropes. It was my first time covering a boxing tournament. What makes this all the more satisfactory for me is that the light in the hall was so incredibly incredibly bad. Some other pro photographers resorted to using flash and got a telling off. I was using a combo of the X100s and a Canon 5d 2 with a 50 lens and both struggled badly to focus so plenty of blurred unusable shots and missed shots but enough to cover the job.

Cool photo. Great lighting, colour temp is perfect and timing is right on.
