For my first post on DG I thought I would share a few shots from my first game of the '09-'10 hoop season. D2 Le Moyne traveled cross town to upset SU in a preseason game that people in Syracuse are still talking about!

All photos are taken with a D300 at ISO 1600, 1/800th at F/3.2. C&C welcome and appreciated. Enjoy!


1. SU's Wes Johnson elevates over the Le Moyne D.



2. Le Moyne's Lawerence Ekperigin and SU's Arinze Onauko for the opening tip of the game.



3. Le Moyne's Lawerence Ekperigin blocks the shot of SU's Arinze Onauko



4. Le Moyne's Durett Miles drives to the basket.

Nicely done. Excellent Action. On my monitor they appear to have a slight redish cast to the uniforms. Perhaps you're a bit warm on your WB.

Thank you! I used Kelvin WB and all the photos did come out too warm. I had to cool them down in PS.

great first post! Nice action - good and tight, sharp and good colors.

Really nice stuff, and a great year for the Big East. I'm a Pitt alum...

What focal length are you shooting here? Please note whether you are accounting for the camera crop.

Thanks

All photos were taken with a 70-200 2.8 on D300 that has a 1.6x crop factor.

#1-3 were shot at 70mm. #4 was at 82mm. All photos were cropped additionally in CS4.
