As it seems that X-T2 is finally making breakthrough for sports photographers out there, I think it's time to make an open thread for sports shots also. So we don't need to make new topic any time someone shoots sports with Fuji :)

 

I start with some shots from this week.

Last game of Estonian Football League.

Both shot with X-T2 and 50-140/2,8 and are JPEGs from camera, slightly edited in LR. I'm more and more moving to only jpegs for my work on Fuji, as the results from straight out of the camera files are just so good and I can save a lot of time using only JPEGs!

I seldom do action shots. Here's one taken yesterday with the XPro2 with the 27mm F2 pancake lens.

Fuji X-T2

XF 50-140mm @ 80mm 2.8

1/500

ISO 5000

I always shoot night football on this field with a minimum shutter speed of 1/640, and try for 1/800 at midfield. Unfortunately, I rolled the dial on the finger grip and slowed down my shutter. Luckily Fuji fixed this with the lock feature on the new firmware. Unfortunately, it was after the season was over :)

As I still am in favor of using one thread for regular photos of one theme, not making a new one for each sports category or event, I'm going to post my latest basketball shots here.

Good shots - my question would be, how did they get to be silhouetted against the Hilton? Are they coming off of a small kicker? A big one? Are they coming out of a half pipe? Are they 5ft above the ground, or 50? Where are they going to land? If you include a bit more context the viewer will understand the story better

 

The picture below is from Getty Images. It's a motorbike not a skier - but the principle holds. The photographer had used a wide-angle lens to get in the take-off and the landing, and has included spectators for context. It tells a much more powerful story than a close zoom on the action alone

Hi

Here's one with a little more context... ;) 

 

....it's from of Québec City's Winter Carnaval annual Ice Canoe Race.

First of all the English translation of the french expression "canot à glace" might induces some confusion, rest assure, the canoes are solidly made of high-tech layout of fiber: kevlar, carbon, fiber-glass, not ice. 

Ice Canoes were used to be a traditional way of travelling on the St-Lawrence River in winter has now evolved into an all out endurance and quite extreme sport with more than 40 teams and a circuit of ten races. Québec City's race is one of the oldest in existence dating back to 1894...

It's only a 3 kilometers ride across the St-Lawrence River from Québec to Lévis on the South shore and back to the starting point. But then, there is the ice, and to make things worse there is also the current and the tide that can be quite strong too, it's not an easy ride. In the elite class, the man will do it 3 times for a total distance of 9 km, the women 2 times and the participation class only once. It's really an all out effort: the best time this year in the men's elite was 1:26:01 hours, with the second and third place finishing just a few seconds later in a epic duel.

Shot with a X-T2 + XF50-140 with the 1.4TC and a X-T1 + XF16-55.

Second day at FIS World Cup at Otepää. Weather was awfull - rain and quite windy, so didn't get too many great photos unfortunately.

Hi !

 

Here's a few pics of some really fast kids in the 1000 m race at the Coupe Québec No 3, a provincial level competition.

This was the last long track speed skating event of the 16/17 season at our local ice ring.  

Speed skating is really a nice sport to shoot, I think we are quite lucky to have this type of installation here in town....

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Thank you. I will research it.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      How does one make sure that Fuji's image correction is turned on to correct barrel and pin-cushion distortion on a GFX 100 or GFX100S when using the GF20-35? Is it only applied to the jpegs and not to the raw files? (I was surprised to discover the barrel distortion on the GF 35-70mm lens.) I normally shoot in raw with jpeg back-up and use the raw files, which I convert either in Affinity Photo 2 when editing with that program or in Raw File Converter Ex 3.0 by Silkypix if I wish to process the image in Photoshop CS6. (Adobe DNG is also a possibility.) Thank you for the help. Trevor
