Some high school b-ball from the last week ....

[cecilc]

Hi all ....

These are some shots from a couple of high school games that I've covered over the last week or so ...

I think the EXIF data's in them ( I'm hoping it is because I don't remember the specifics of each one! ). But I do know that they were all taken with Canon Mark II's with either a Canon 400 2.8 (images 1 & 2); a Canon 80-200 2.8; or a Canon 17-35 2.8 ....

C & C always appreciated ......

Thanks for lookin' .... hope everyone has some great holidays !!

Wonderful captures!

I love the light on them, perfectly exposed :)... I need a 1D Mark II or III ... or something! :cry

Awesome shots! That's a pretty impressive gym for highschool. There's nothing like that in my area at the highschool level.

Cecil,

As usual, very good shots :thumb

I would expect nothing less from you though.

could you go into detail on your lighting set-up? looks like you've got strobes up in the rafters...getting that espn.com look for basketball shots

Actually, no lighting set-up at all - no strobes, no flashes ...

All ambient .... just a well-lit arena .....

If I remember correctly, I was shooting (mostly) at ISO 1250; f3.2; 1/400 or 1/500 ss. And that was across the board with both cameras and all lenses.
