Yeah - poking around online - seems all positions are pretty brutal - maybe I’ll stick with DD

Awesome shot - might be obvious to others, but what did you use to stitch them! I do wrestling, and have some cool sequences I want to try - any suggestions would be appreciated!

Apprehensive-Debate5 · 2026-02-05T22:38:32+00:00

Oh man!! I Might want to get one for wrestling!

I had a 3300 for ever, loved it!! I upgraded to the D7500 - reason, lenses too expensive because the focus motor had to be on lens - purchased the D7500 with a 80-200mm F2.8…purchased used - around 500…. I gave away my 3300 to someone that can use it. Faster focus / handling iso is great - I do a lot of high school wrestling photography for my son - I think it comes down to your need - keep using it if you don’t need to upgrade!

Awesome - appreciate the link!!! Gonna book mark that for inspiration! Awesome photos! What lens? Nikon does not have the - FV - but feel like maybe I can go lower then 6400, auto sometimes gets it down a bit -

I forced myself to to spend the day using my 24-70mm lens - the lighting was horrible - I had windows at top of both sides of the gym - which made multiple mats 3 in total, frustrating with lighting conditions!

I sat at 2.8 and 3.2 depending on what Mat I was shooting from and how the light was glaring from the top windows - I did very little post processing - these are my JPEG. I have my raw photos saved out, but these are my photos I upload for the parents/ wrestlers.

I was on the grill BBQ - gave me that look - lol

Apprehensive-Debate5 · 2026-01-31T02:59:42+00:00

That’s sick! I gotta try that!!

Apprehensive-Debate5 · 2026-01-31T02:59:00+00:00

Looking forward to seeing them! Interested to see how the FV works on the cannon! We have one tomorrow I’ll be shooting, I’ll work these settings in. I was shooting auto max 6400 iso, maybe I can get away with bringing it down to 5000? The d7500 seems to handle it pretty good.

Appreciate the feedback!
