Middle School Basketball "Hughes vs Bancroft

Well I've finally finished editing my pictures from this game and two soccer games, which you've seen above.

It's now time for boys basketball with girls track to follow. Here are a few shots from the game I shot this last Wednesday right after work.

For these shots I used my 70-200 f/2.8L IS lens with my camera set on manual mode at f/2.8, ISO 3200 with a shutter of 1/400.

First basketball of the season

My first basketball of the season. Most of my basketball photography is at the middle school level and their season is broken up into two different seasons. During the first part of the season, there's girls basketball and boys track, during the second part of the season there's boys basketball and girls track. Of course there's the championship games that will be played at the end of each season. I will more than like only shoot two season games for the boys and girls and then the championship games. Not sure if I will get out there for some high school shooting, it's all a matter of time as I will have high school girls soccer soon.

All of these shots were in manual with my 70-200 f/2.8L IS lens. My settings were ISO 3200, f/2.8, and either 1/500 or 1/400. I also used my flash, which was reflected off the ceiling, at full power. The gym I was shooting at has only about 2 to 3 feet between the court and perimeter walls, making things rather tight when the action got close.
