Not shot much for fun since monetising my sports photography. Basketball has always been one of my favourite sports and my school teams won trophies at county level and were runners up in teh Scottish Cup. I've only photographed my son playing a couple of times so I went along with little expectation of good shots. Lighting was fairly typical needing iso12800 @F2.8 and white balance was set manually as the horrible green walls would have played havoc with AWB.
Basketball is a tricky sport to get good clean shots. It was a small gym so had to sit almost in the corner. There is gym furniture everywhere and emergence doors etc so a clean background was very tough. I probably got the hang of it in the 4th quarter but at the point the team at my end put on a full court press and the action was infrequent near my net. Really enjoyed the game though and teh Ladies really put everything into it diving around for loose balls and one away to hospital with what may be a dislocated shoulder>
