Last night I photographed the Bobcats v. Timberwolves game for Uptown Magazine. Dont tell anyone I'd never photographed a basketball game before.
(this is the only one I cropped--actually extra negative space was hard to get)
I know this one isnt very usable, but I do love the expression on their faces.
I swear the next frame would have been in focus if not for the sudden impact. fortunately I remembered to hold on to the camera and go with the inertia (no I'm not kidding--I was hit by this ball and nearly run over)
These were all shot using available light (for $300 I could have tied into the overhead strobes--enhh oh well, maybe next time) all at 1/500; f/2.8-3.5;1600 ISO using a Canon 5D and a 20D with a 70-200L 2.8 and a 16-35L 2.8.
Switching the lenses between the cameras let me get more diversity from the the two lenses (eg: the 200mm on the 20D makes it a 300 and let me shoot the opposite end of the court, while on the 5D it was great for close ups under the basket).
