How I Flash Football [edited]

[Randy]

FWIW, if you're using an SB-800, it does overexpose a bit when the subject is close.

and it underexpose when the subject is too far away

using flash is not consistent

never not even once

NC won't allow flash for VB but that's about it

I was wondering the same thing. How about parents, seems like many parents look for any excuse on a missed play.

I have softball to start soon and while I know I have my challenges with the D7100 for action shots if a flash might help I might consider it.

Flash is not allowed for softball or baseball. More of a danger to the kids. At least with football and basketball they are not being thrown at/hitting the ball.

Wow blast from the past. Nearly 2 year old question. You'll be happy to know I never used a flash, nor did I actually need it. Especially now with the D750 I started using last year.

I used to shoot a lot of softball and baseball in IN and NC. Neither allowed flash during the game. Had to invest in a better camera and faster glass. Then again, depending on the shot, some parents don’t care quite as much about the low light noise if you catch a great play.....
