Cloudy sports photos

Shooting Action Pictures on a Cloudy day: It's a mixed blessing, don't have to worry about keeping the sun on your back but color is flat and blue. Here's what to do: Set your ISO on 1600, Set the exposure mode to A (Aperture Priority). Attach your longest lens and set the aperture wide open. This will force the camera to choose a very fast shutter speed and stop the action. Set the White Balance to Cloudy and the saturation to High or Vivid. This will correct the color for the clouds by adding some yellow and add snap to the colors.
Maybe the most important thing to do: upload the results ASAP. Sports photos sell best when they are available before the next game.
