is it actually IN the GRB?? I suppose it could be the place is big enough. High ceilings and combo of tungsten/floresent lighting. I never shot there other than the Bridal shows, but you should be OK with a 2.8.....

Thanks Nathan. So far those are all the details I have at the moment. A father called and wants prints and digital prints of his daughter playing volleyball.

I will talk to him more and hopefully he can narrow down a specific location inside the GRB. Heck..that bad boy is two levels of GIANORMICITY!

Sonny,

If it is in the GRB, you have a couple of choices on light...bad and HORRIBLE. I have shot in there several times and I have to use the 200/1.8 to get decent action shots (thou 2.8 will work if you push it a bit.)

If they are in the room with tall ceilings, which I think they will be, due to it being volley ball, you will hate that place.

But it is just another challenge for you! LOL It can be done.

Coby
