  •  Info This kind of photo is not easy to obtain: the shutter speed has to be fast enough to allow the mouvement to be freezed, and the focus has to be very quick to follow the moving subject. But as the shutter speed goes faster, the amount of light hitting the camera's sensor becomes smaller, so bigger apertures an higher ISO values are required. The aperture value for this photo is 1.8, which is the biggest existing for a 85mm lens (except for the very expensive 85/1.2 luxury lens), and the ISO value (1600) is pretty much a 'must' after choosing the above parameters. As for the drums - I didn't even notice them, the bokeh in the background is pretty good so they don't seem that distracting to me. --Atoma 16:09, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Incorrect, there is an 85 f/1.2 L --Fir0002 www 07:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, didn't new about that one (I'm not a Canonist). Well one thing is sure, that baby is expensive ! --Atoma 08:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Even if it is not easy to obtain yet still technically good, that doesn't necessarily make it a nice photo. This pic just isn't aesthetically pleasing or attractive. So I'm not going to change my vote. - MPF 11:25, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

•  Support Professional grade sports photography. It might be possible to clip it on the right to center the image on the subject. ~ trialsanderrors 19:13, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
