p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · TN Basketball Season in Review


I was able to shoot nearly every Tennessee Men's and Women's basketball game this year. It was an investment of considerable time, but I think it really pushed me to grow as a photographer. I got more proficient and efficient in the editing, captioning and the uploading process. Also, I think my images got better over time, too. Since I was shooting so many games, I was able to take some chances and look for special moments and was not always focused on the play by play action in front of me.

I also tried to shoot tight and and at times, loose. I shot quite a bit with a 400 2.8 IS. This was a challenge, especially on a crowded baseline. It's heavy and a bit unwieldy to switch between bodies and lenses without killing the photog next to you. It is also a bit of a challenge to keep players in the frame, even at the far end and from 1/2 court in, it is really, really tough. But, when you nail it, it makes a really nice images
.
I also used the 24-70 2.8 v2 quite a bit. Normally, I prefer the 70-200 as my go to lens for basketball. It allowed me to shoot some floor to basket images from under the basket and also worked well for athletes driving the baseline right next to me.

This post may be a bit image heavy, but just wanted to let you see some of the images I liked.

Great series Tim! I would think Isabelle Harrison may want a few of those too. Also, I was wondering if you or Reed got the LSU dunk. I watched it live and thought of you guys as it happened. Great work!

These are terrific! Thanks for sharing.
Are you using strobes from above?
I like how the backgrounds are dark.
Glad you were able to grow this season. Think of how you set yourself up for next season.

Thanks all.

Jim, the dunk was monster. He just kept going up and up and up.

Kenneth, no strobes necessary at TBA. See this thread about the arena lighting there:

Anyone that would shoot a 400 at basketball is not right in the head. There's these two guys in Knoxville...oh, wait, never mind Did I let you try the 200-400 in there?
Great to see you so much this year, and as usual the quality of your images is superb! And I'll also give a shoutout to MRM4, those lights have changed my life

Hi Tim - a little late in replying here...meant to respond as soon as you posted these...and...well....got side tracked.

Anyways - awesome set from start to finish. Sharp, crisp, vibrant colors seems to be the theme! Like others I've commented on lately - I need to revisit my indoor WB management because mine don't even come close to these.

From the lot - #s 3, 7, and second to last are my favorites!

Awesome job and thanks for sharing.

JC
