Great stuff, numbers 3, 4 and 8 would be my picks but nothing wrong with any of them.

What focal length was 3 taken with?

All the exif is still in place... that was 70 using the short end of a 70-200 :)
 
All nice clean sharp shots. Can't help looking at #4 and thinking indoor football and that's a handball. I appreciate in most gyms the background can be a major pain. The only other thing I would have liked to see and I know you have some as I peeked at your website, is where the ball is not stuck to the players hand. Overall a good set.

Good point.. I hadn't noticed that :)
 
They are great - really seem to pop of the screen, love the perspective of the ball forward of the players in no1
 
Always great so see b-ball images here on TP - hopefully one day I get to post mine here as well!!
Good stuff as always @KIPAX !!

Do what I do and drop well below BBL and you can post what ya like haha... All the best for the new yr mate :?)
 
Nice shots but I feel that the last one is a bit distracting with the spectators in the background. Perhaps a faster lens on different angle could have sold this issue although, wouldn't we all like a faster lens if money grew on trees!

Maybe I should get to few of those... unfortunately the BBL/Continental/International games pay... :)
All the best for your New year as well... hopefully catch-up somewhere in 2016!

it was on 2.8 and although i can go f2 its more important to get two players in focus.. as the people in background are only a couple of feet away it would be hard to get them too much out of focus... as for different angle? seriously ? :)

ta :)
 
Super set and another vote for #4.

I wonder if a much closer crop to erase as much non-subject matter as possible would make some of these much stronger?
 
4 is a great shot, shame about the stowed goal in the background but I guess you get that witha gym hall.
number 5 is a photoshop, white men can't jump ;)

All my pics are cropped 7x5/A4 for online sales :)
 
great shots! And what does it for me is that I used to play but can't now - and seeing these really makes me want to still play - bringing the sport to life, very nice!
 
No 4 & 6 are my favourites. The determination on the players face, the colours and sharpness.
Do you use a custom WB or just rely on auto WB?

I have to set the white balance in places like that.. I dont shoot RAW so set white balance first.. hate all this take a rubbish picture and fix later nonsense :)
 
Thanks for the info Tony.
I would imagine you also shoot manual along with the custom WB to give a constant look to the photos.

If only all indoor venues would have constant lighting and constant WB :)
Majority of indoor venues in the UK are not designed to host sporting events - so the lighting is placed accordingly.
There are certain venues that have a great constant light/WB - other ones... you can have three to four different exposures and WB 'zones' on the court.
 
Fab stuff as always Tony.
