It was a hilarious event to shoot. I wish I could link in the whole gallery...these are just the faceless ones because these were minors, and the shots were for internal use only.

Those are some great shots of the Volleyball game! One tip I'd mention is : Almost every sport has one instant when the action is frozen, like the volleyball serve you posted. learn what they are, anticipate them, WAIT for it, then shoot!
What's the worst thing that can happen? O.K., what's the next worst thing?

I was cruising POTN (a Canon shooter site), and ran across this and thought of this thread. This guy is using strobes on some of his sots and very good gear. (I think I'd get kicked out of the gym since folks here take volleyball pretty seriously). But even his non-strobed shots look pretty good to me. ...and continuing the tangent, I kinda like the camera work by this guy doing swimming. http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1457476

Once again, why do folks post links to images and then pull them down?

Well, i had to look up the thread to see why this was posted to me. All I can say is it weren't me!
Looks like a PB F up.
The links are still in the post (quote my post). I pasted it to the URL in a new tab and PB timed out.

IronB: Did not intend to imply anything personal, just tend to hit the reply on the last post. Pretty much just a generality here. Just get tired of the "take a look at these" only to find they've been pulled down.
Could be that folks think their image has rolled into the forum records when that is not the case.
Been using PhotoBucket for a decade and never had an image vaporize.

No worries, 1. Didn't take it personally.
Thought you meant mine as they did not show, but now they are back.
PB can be frustrating.

I love the following thread. Shows that short and wide can give you great shots if you're willing to put yourself out there/down there; http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1465508

I've spent more time than I care to admit shooting in dingy gyms. Here are some tips:
1) Shoot at 2.8. That's why you spent the big bucks on that lens.
2) Shoot RAW files. You can do more to save an underexposed RAW file. You can also shoot at one color balance setting (right or not) then download the files into Lightroom, adjust one frame's WB to perfection then sync the rest to it
3) Fast glass like a 85/1.8 is helpful though I usually shoot them at f/2.
4) The best photogs will still get a lot of bad frames (with manual or autofocus) in dark gyms, so shoot lots of frames. Lots.
5) If you can afford it, upgrading the camera to a 5D Mark4 is worth it. The high ISO settings are very clean.

If I saw a girl wind up like this in the 70's when I was in middle school I would have been worried.... W

Your digital noise is barely noticeable. And a lot of times viewers expect to see that a bit at high school sports.
I've been lucky enough to shoot a lot of volleyball, some with strobes and some with available light with fast glass and top-of-the-line camera bodies. Even with the crazy-fast motor drive, I still miss "peak" moment sometimes. It's helpful in the long run to use single shot instead of the motor drive. Train yourself to get the peak moment.
Nice stuff and keep shooting.

Ha, 1minute. I'm 40. I mostly responded on this because I saw a fellow Nebraskan posted! I haven't updated my site in a while, but here's an example of what I was talking about with lights and no motor drive (and some luck): http://www.mattmillerphoto.com/?#/Portfolio/Sports/12/

Nice work, and today's buffers and cards are something else given the amount of data that's generated.
