 p.1 #13 · College Basketball (7D and video) | |
Hi Mike.
I enjoyed the pictures and the video as well. I agree with Scott that in general there is an under exposure to most and checking the histogram in PS seems to show this. I think I would have forsaken a bit of shutterspeed, and ISO say down to 1/800 and up to 2500 for a little more exposure as it sounds like, from all reports, that both cameras can handle the higher ISO's fine.
I do however like a higher "standup" perspective for this level of basketball. I find shooting from a "close" baseline while kneeling or sitting results in too many "up nose" shots, and no eyes as the players tilt thier heads up towards the hoops. The fan shots are great and for action I like 5 the best while 9 is great protrait.
The video is very well done. Nice camera work to get the shots. I thought even with the f2 stop, the short lenses had enough DOF to keep the importent bits in focus. I even noticed on one free throw where you panned from the shooter to the hoop, that the focus changed and *almost* kept up. Nice job of editing to get things somewhat synced to the music as well. I know how challanging that can be.
I have been looking at the 7D long and hard for the exact reasons you show here and I think this puts me over the top for making the choice. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together and present it here.
