Volleyball, to me is one of the hardest sports to photograph. The lighting usually isn't really good enough to stop the action, especially the faster paced action and the 80-200 lens I have to use isnn't the best. It is frustrating capturing the action, but not having it turnout right either through equipment not functioning at 100% or the light doesn't allow a fast enough shutterspeed to stop everything and give sharp pictures. Using a flash can help, but then you get unnaturalistic light and a lot of red eye to contend with. So when I do get it, it feels good. I'm still waiting for a great volleyball photo--in 13 years I haven't gotten a great one yet. Meadville Tribune photograph by Richard Sayer
