I needed some practice with the new lenses in challenging lighting, so that was a great excuse to head to my local Hooters one evening for their swimsuit contest. I got there late and left early, so I didn't get all the girls. Sorry.
So for all the horndogs out there, Mray, Bucklucky, you know who you are...enjoy.
And to you other photographers, let me know how I could have improved these shots, or what settings you might have used in these conditions.
The link so as not to offend our lovely lady members and kids

And a little sample.

What lens did you use for the swimsuit contest?
-
Canon 70-200mm L f/2.8 IS for 80% and Sigma 50mm f/1.4 for the rest. It was really dark with flashes going off all the time and some funky spotlighting near the stage.

I would have to say that my favorites are 0072-0076, but I guess I could handle any one of them, I don't want to look picky :chuckle:
-
i kinda like them all :dunno:
but you can tell some are more clear than others and the lighting is different in some. im not a big photography guy but just noticed

ya I was looking at the lighting and clarity also :chuckle:

I think you did a real good job with it. Some were soft and I might have tried to use the faster f1.4 more than the f2.8. Also, it's better to be grainy than fuzzy from movement. What I mean is push your ISO to get shutter speed when needed. Some of the photos are a bit soft from camera or subject movement.
Oh yeah, hot chicks!

Now this is a thread I could get into...no pun intended :chuckle: :chuckle:

Shawn, would you have used AI Servo? I didn't try it out, and I think it would have worked better than one shot focus.

Look everyone, she is waving at me. :kneel:

I think those are really cool pics :con: :chuckle:

Does anybody ever wonder why the smiley with the Condom on looks like Eric Cartman? Sorry off subject a bit

You know, I go through that question a lot with Canon. It seems the Al Servo isn't terribly accurate but better than one shot on moving subjects. On non-moving subjects it seems the one shot is much more accurate. In the end I use Al Servo and live with the inconsistent results at times. Most of the object I shoot are moving though.
