Smitty, how you going mate. I just looked at your website and you have
some terriffic images there. How's the Canon going? I've just bought a
Pentax 645N for my landscape work, not sure to do with my Maxxum system
as yet, I've bneen thinking I can use my D7 (soon to become an A1)for
anything the MF is not suitable for. Are you not using film at all now
for work?

You did not say what sport your shooting in the gym. If it is basketball
then I can offer you some ideas. Look at my sports shots at
www.adroit-images.com if this is what your trying to do then email me direct
and I'll coach you through it.

Are you taking them under tungsten light? You will need a warming filter
if that is the case to compensate for the light or get some film
designed for shooting under tungsten lights.

Can anyone give me advice on taking photographs in a gym without them

out orange? I have a Canon AE-1 Program and I'd like to use an 80-200

zoom.

I've tried using 400 or 800 in program mode but the camera chooses
super-slow shutter speeds which causes the action to be all blurry.

Trying

to set shutter speed myself results in orange-tinted pictures. I

haven't

tried my flash because it just doesn't seem enough for such a large

space,

not to mention I don't want to blind the atheletes, but should I try?

Any

suggestions? I'm using Kodak film, tried shutter speeds from 30 to

1000,

and I've been letting the camera pick the f-stop.
