Hey
@Chipper - and thanks
@KIPAX for the 'tag' .. you know I am always happy to come and participate in b-ball chats ;-)
For me - the lens that first goes on in my bodies when covering basketball, is 70-200mm f2.8 (that's when I am on commission and NEED to get good range of images).
With that, you can cover the court nicely from half-way, all the way to under the basket (swap to portrait when action goes under the hoop).
Second lens for me... depends on how many remotes I am using (note - at the moment behind the basket remotes are NOT allowed in BBL!!) at that particular game.
If I am going with 2 or 3 remotes.. then I tend to stick 24-70 or 24-105 to my second hand held body.
Otherwise, I keep swapping around depending on where I sit and what I want/need to capture.
Under the basket (please check with club that it is OK - and maybe even the refs) - I tend to go for 20mm f2.8.. that on horizontal and manual focus is a killer under the hoop (especially when you have venues with high seating on four sides!).
At the corners my second lens might be 15-35 or the 24-70/24-105.
Worcester... if you've been going to Worcester.. you've seen me there plenty of times (guy with a grey Brooklyn Nets cap) photographing their games.
If you are coming to the game at the end of next week (vs Newcastle) - I should be there, so will be happy to have wee chat with you before the game.
Please do keep an eye whether they game goes ahead - Newcastle are at the Cup Final on Sunday, and thus might want to postpone the match!
So check the Wolves website before the game day!
Lighting in Worcester Arena is a bit tricky - strange that, considering it is a new venue and cost millions.
You have various 'zones' on the court... depending whether it is a TV game or not.
Right under the baskets you have 'dark zone' - you go easily down one or two stops.
From the a meter out from the basket - you have a 'neutral zone' all the way to the half-way line.
Then you have the 'bright zone' around the centre...that's about three stops brighter than under the basket.
So.. bit of a challenge to get the whole court covered.. but we like a good challenge!
And as KIPAX mentioned - no posting of BBL images in photo forums, I know some who have done it elsewhere. But.. the license agreement says no posting, so I would stick to that to be sure.
I will certainly keep an eye on the website and for you if it goes ahead. I have tickets for the game so if the match is postponed won't be able to get my pass from Worcester until after that. I imagine you have at least one 1DX and so are full frame?
