OM-1 for sports photography

in today's episode I'm gonna test out the
om1 and the m2go 150 to 400 millimeter for a soccer game it's actually my son playing
today so I will test out this system to see how it performs in sports so let's get started
one of the big advantages of this set is the zoom so I can cover all the field with my
300 to 800 millimeter so that's really nice to have in a soccer game like this and today's
game my son's team closed up is meeting a team called lunch after this this match is
important for Gloucester because if they win this one the next match they play is a about
going up to the next league so they have to win this one today to to get that match so
we cross our fingers but I'm just excited to to see how this one performs in in sports
and circle like this [Music] oh foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Focus spot so I just go with normal tracking
that's a really exciting match really really hard to keep from photographing [Music] [Applause] [Music] I'm used to be booked for
one team and only shoot for that one team so I also have to adjust to shoot for both
sides of this game even though my son is on one of the teams Bubble Up on concentration
[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you foreign so it was a good day now they have the chance
to to play the match to to move up to the next league so that's really good I was up
at ISO five six thousand at the end of this game and this dim light at the evening and
also maybe bad bad lit stadiums I had a little problems with the autofocus um when the the
lightest demon the contrast disappear a little but it was manageable it's a little more challenging
with this camera than with the ammo professional sports set I mean a full-frame set from Canon
Nikon or Sony so of course they are a little better with the larger sensors and dark dark
situations like this but I think many of the images from today are photos from today are
really good now it's time to pixel Peep and zoom in and some of the photos from today
have chosen some of the the ones with the high ISO so you can see the performance of
this sit the first one is ISO 2500 as you can see the autofocus is not spot on on this
photo the second one is ISO 3200 this one is actually quite good considering the higher
ISO value and the last photo is ISO 6400 and yeah you
can both see I've zoomed in a lot on the on this photo so you can really see a the details
are lacking details and ISO values like this also the autofocus is not spot on every time
but I have really zoomed in so that also does matter a little but the I will say I can recommend
this set for daytime Sports it's a really capable set the autofocus is fast and it's
a really good range and really sharp results in good light so when the light starts to
fall off so does the performance of this microphone third sit but all in all I'm pleased with
the results that's all I had to share with you today I hope you can use the information
it's a really good versatile piece of gear so highly recommended especially in good light
or daytime light if you have to have a high shutter speeds of course your landscaping
and stuff like that where you can dial down the shutter speed it's also capable of doing
some great results in in low light but if you need that high shutter speed in low light
this set is a yeah it's it's challenged I will say but it can be done and you can get
some great results but you cannot drop the photos very much so like I said that's all
I had so stay safe bye [Music]
