My grandson is in Tae Kwon Do and will be competing this coming Saturday. He's too young for contact, but he will be competing in forms and another non-contact sparring positions thing, can't remember what my daughter called it. Anyway, I would naturally like to take photos and asked her if she'd ask the Master if I could set up down on the floor. That turned into yes, and then the question about if I'd be willing to take photos of anyone else. "sure", I said...
I've never shot this kind of thing before. It will be indoors with school gym lighting. I'm planning to take the 24-105/4, the Minolta A Mount 80-200/2.8, and not knowing how far away I'll actually be from the action, the 200-600. The first two won't be bad for ISO and SS, but the last will present issues. I'm really thinking (hoping) the 80-200 will be the right one.
Settings? I already have my grandson's face registered in the camera from a previous school event, so that will help when he's up there. I'm most comfortable with M mode and will likely use it. I am thinking (correct me if wrong) that once I get the camera set for conditions, nothing will change much from person to person.
What about focus? AF-C for the action, which tracking mode? Which focus area/size? I think using Face/Eye would be best?
Adjustments will be necessary once they get going, I just need starting points. Am I on track?
