I just returned from a volleyball tournament in Daytona, Florida, where I got to shoot my daughter’s under 16 team in action. Getting good volleyball shots at these tournaments is a photographic challenge for a number of reasons including the low light levels inside the auditorium where the indoor games are played, the mixed color of the mercury lights and the reflections from the blue floor, the speed of play and the inability to use flash during normal games all conspire to make it
difficult to capture the decisive moment. Nonetheless there are plenty of opportunities to capture nice portraits of these beautiful girls, enjoying their games and demonstrating their skills, attention, teamwork, jubilation and even silliness.
