Last weekend, I photographed a karate competition focused entirely on the combats. I got some amazing shots that can be found in two Flickr albums, available here and here.
Our grandson Liam participated in this event (pictured above), and considering that he fought for the first time in some of the categories, he did extremely well.
For the first time, I took two cameras: the Canon R6 and the Canon 5D Mark III. The R6 was paired with an EF 70–200mm f/2.8, and the 5D with an EF 50mm f/1.8. I had never used the 5D with the 50mm for this type of event before, and I was pleased to see that it got the job done very well. I missed a few pictures, but mostly because of human error. It’s somehow difficult to shoot with two cameras whose autofocus systems are completely different, especially with one being mirrorless and the other a DSLR. But you get used to it, and I’m sure I’ll keep using this setup in the future. Of course, having two mirrorless cameras would be the perfect setup, but this is what I have.
