p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · HS Basketball playoffs


High School basketball playoffs have started here in Ohio. Feel free to post c/c, I'm always open to new ideas on things.

I think the first 3 are 5D3 + 70-200 IS II and the last two are 1D3 + 50 f/1.8 USM. This is fairly poorly lit gym so something like ISO 8000, 1/800, f/2.8 was about the amount of light to work with.

These aren't too bad, and overall are pretty good, but I'll add my 2 cents worth of critique. Of course, my opinion may or may not be worth anything more than 2 cents.

1. Not bad, but I prefer an unobstructed face for these type of shots. I like contested, just with a better view of the shooters face. Maybe a tighter crop to avoid the chopped fingers on the defender.
2. Good action, but hate when I don't get a better view of the face on a dunk. Maybe tweak the horizon. Could probably crop tighter and fill the frame with the body.
3. Pretty good, just hate when I clip a body part -left foot.
4. Good rebound with face, but a tad late. He is on his way down with the ball and uncontested. Kind of an easy shot to get.
5. This may mean something to the team, but I think it's either past or before peak action. Would like to see some eyes and more emotion. Looks like they are just going through the motions of a huddle break.

While these are all probably sellable to the players/parents, I think with a bit of work, you can make some fantastic images.

Is the white balance perfect? Nope, but I don't really care. It's close enough for me. Is there noise? Yep, but it's a high school gym, and this is about as good as you can do with your equipment. Just work on peak action, faces and emotion.

Thanks for the response, I'll try to work on some of these. I'm shooting at this venue again tonight so I will try different WB setting.
