Varsity Field Hockey, Very Cloudy

Today it actually rained about 30 mins before game time...and remained fairly dark storm cloud light, w/ some sporadic sunshine or brighter light...Field was surrounded by buildings, playground and houses, backgrounds were not good.

Although the histogram seemed OK, many of the pics seemed dark, so I tried to brighten them up a little in post, not sure if it was an improvement or not...fire away! :smile:

Thanks Darren, appreciate that...

Thanks Vince, I saw your note in Brooks' soccer pics too. Boy, you were real dark then, I had ISO 500 and 1/1250, which I thought was dark.
