This one really catches the emotion of the moment.

Yes, I was shooting under the bottom rope in the corner, under the turnbuckle.

While we're at it, check out my UFC 100 photos:

You could produce a photography book or put them in a gallery or something one day. You should also venture into other areas besides sports.

I would like to branch out to concert photography but I don't have any contacts within the industry here. There are probably more concert / celebrity photographers in Las Vegas than boxing and MMA.

Excellent pics!! I really like the last 2.

ultravista · 08-03-2009, 06:53 AM

Thank you.

Excellent pics ultravista! Did you get press access for the UFC?

**03youngd** · 08-03-2009, 11:22 AM

nice pics, gotta see some more when you get some

wow ISO 1600 and very little noise!

ultravista · 08-04-2009, 01:37 PM

Yes, I shot UFC for Boxing Digest. The photos should be in an upcoming article. ISO 1600 on the Nikon D300 is clean, no noise reduction was applied. My old D200 however was very noisy. It helps to have a 400mm f/2.8 lens as well. The lens used, was $4800, and worth every penny.

Sweet gig, bro!

Thanks Joemoplata

Great pics. Like someone said earlier I'm impressed you got them that clear with a high ISO and with them moving that fast.

ultravista · 02-02-2010, 06:41 AM

Asiyel, this was shot with the Nikon D300 which has a decent ISO range. I have since moved up to the D3 which is far superior and can go very high while remaining clean.

**Chad** · 02-02-2010, 06:52 AM

Any new photos coming up soon man? I think I speak for the whole forum when I say that we really appreciate you uploading such good shots!
