MSU-Northern Skylights vs Argos
On September 27, 2023, I popped my MSU-N photo cherry and was able to shoot the Skylights against the Argos inside the Armory Gymnasium. The lighting made for some challenges in getting fast enough shutter speeds to stop the motion. Lighting in the gym isnt made for photographers or TV, that is for sure…ISOs were getting quite high that day, which tends to add a palish green tinge to most skin tones in these photos. I was wishing about an hour in that I brought over to the gym a 85mm or 135 prime lens to let a ton more light in and keep the ISOs down.
It was great to watch Jerry’s team back in action after a couple of years of being inside the Armory. Being the first time I had shot Volleyball, I explored the gym quite a bit to get different angles. Orion’s girlfriend (#7) plays on the Skylights and I ended up focusing on her most of the evening, trying to get a few good action shots of her. My cousin Emily (#22) also plays for the Skylights.
The skylights ended up losing in 5 to the Argos. The Skylights didn’t play very well at times and from my seat, they let the Argos win. Poor play at key times left the Skylights in tears after a hard fought night of action.
