some of the photos look very 'patchy'?
bad lighting? lots of cropping? noise removal?

I used any available light there is,because during the fight we are not allow to use flash to distract any fighter's attention.Cropping yes.I did it.Noise removal?Nope...never did it.

Sorry shaolin tiger,next time will read the rules n regulations before posting anything.Thanks.

no flash is a standard rule for most sports photography :) but yeah.. some of your pix u might have did some over cropping. the pixels are not sharp

eg. this one below

Very nice angle and composition but WB is inconsistant. Nice coverage by the way.

Nice gory & chilling shots. Bloody & lumpy as well. Some seem over-exposed. But thanks for sharing with us. Good job.

u must have oversharpen the pix too much. u use sharpen or unsharp mask ? should be using unsharp mask instead.

in this kind of situation where light levels are consistant, u might wanna shoot in manual with a fix shutter n apperture. btw, which mode u shooting on ?

I use sharpen on this image,didn't know much about unsharp mask.So try unsharp mask later on this pic.:?

I was using AV mode which is F3.5 on 1/200 speed.Mostly i was using AV mode because i didn't know which mode i should use in this situation.It was my first time shooting sports upclose.:boxer: What do u think?

ahh.. Av. that's why u get the overexposed and the slow shutter effect. your meter might have at times meter the wrong thing and automatically change the setting up/down.

your shutter is critical here so u might wanna use Tv or go fully M :)

no wonder la, i thought how come so many media photographers, which is in fact the public with cameras.

personally i feel the match with the girls is the most exciting one, and ended so fast and bloody, better than the match in the first round when the two fighters were a bit more reserved

Hehe...some of them r not from the press.If u ask me about the match,i think that the most exciting match is when sean wright who is from scotland did have a good match with the other fighter.And it was a bloody match which is the most exciting round.Besides that i also like the match between the brazilian and singaporean.I nvr seen that brazilian fighter had any injury,it was amazed that he escape unhurt.Anyway it was a good show for us to witness the 1st time in malaysia.

Here r some pictures and i know some of u guys might not like it...:D
