Gymnastics is very difficult to photograph in many venues because you cannot use strobes to both freeze the action and get clear photos as well as the added benefit of darkening the background to make it look less cluttered. These were all shot at ISO 6400 with a Canon Mark IV set to a shutter speed of 1/1000th of a second with an aperture of f/4. Though some were taken with a Canon Mark III at ISO 3200 1/800th of a second f/3.2 Also, it was difficult to get a clean background because there were three events going on simultaneously and there was something busy at every angle. It would’ve been perfect if the hall was not so evenly lit. If the floor was lit evenly and the seats lit less (i.e. a stop preferably two), then I could’ve photographed the gymnasts and have the background go dark to black.
