I was a viewer of a greater boxing competition here in Germany. 6 fights for the youth and 7 fights for the men filled up my cards and let my camera glew ??“ 6.000 photos in one night. This take was shot with Canon R5 and a Canon lens 70-200 by Ap. 2.8, shutter speed 1/2000 and ISO 5000.

Great shot, Peter. The expression says it all. Everything works here. Nice crop and excellent mono conversion. What software process did you use for the mono conversion? Posted: 04/10/2026 20:39:46
Hi Peter: Great cropping work, you have eliminated unnecessary items from the scene and focused in on the main action. You have caught the one contestant landing a punch to the head of the other contestant, perfect timing.
Very well done monochrome conversion Posted: 04/12/2026 00:55:42

A well-timed shot, Peter! The crop and monochrome conversion work well here. Posted: 04/13/2026 17:45:02
Nicely done Peter. Always a difficult shot with no additional light also! Looking at the face of the boxer you captured makes me imagine what the other boxer's face looks like! Posted: 04/13/2026 20:55:11
Thanks to all of you! It is a great challenge to capture moments like this. Posted: 04/13/2026 22:16:57
Perfect timing. Great work freezing the motion and dealing with high iso. Posted: 04/15/2026 23:28:46
