I have been using a similar setup (haven't turned my 580 upside down yet). My settings are likewise similar but I have been using a lower ISO (1250) with 580 set with no exposure comp. The "light" came on when I saw your 1600 ISO and -2/3 on the 580 (saving battery power AND giving a shorter/faster burst of light). THANK-YOU!! Good stuff!

I can't wait till next season. Just out of curiousity have you tried this for softball and/or baseball? I think it would work great for in-field. The lighting, (especially for baseball) is awful in the out-field. Do you have suggestions that would improve this? I appreciate any info. Your wrestling is poster is awesome. Thanks.

A flash from the sidelines is not the culprit. I have never once had anyone complain when using flash, and all the photographers I talk to have not either. I think these rumors start from just your average Joe sitting in the stands. If they miss a catch or tackle, then their eyes weren’t on the ball or runner.

I always worry about flashing the players and then they miss the big catch or can't see the tackle. Have you heard any of the players complain about the flash affecting them? I use a Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8, at ISO 3200. The high school team wears black and the lighting is terrible. If the players aren't bothered by the flash, I will definately try this next football season.

They perform on the same football fields and their faces can be obsured by the visor on their hats. I will have to give this a try! Thanks.

I've done it and even 6400 ISO doesn't make it easy. I still give you props for this and props for shooting high school sports at night. I’ve done it and even 6400 ISO doesn’t make it easy.
