They came to my town last month and my family went to the game. I could have gotten credentials for the floor, but it was my son's Bday, so I sat with him. We had 2nd row seats on the bench side. I was able to get pretty good shot but hut to cut off some feet because the scoring table was right in front of me. This was the first time that I've ever shot basketball so I'm sure there is alot to critique. Enjoy

    I think these came out great. It looks like you were born shooting basketball. Someday I'm going to take photos like these. [/end dream]

    Hello Russ,
    Great photo's will you give me an idea of the settings you were using iso, shutter speed, F/stop and what lens.
    You photo really pop and I have an opportunity to shoot an NBA game on the floor and don't want to mess up.
    Thanks for your insight.

    Nice shots! I like the way the colors pop. The compositions are as usual very well done. Not sure I understand #'s 7 & 16 . clap.gif

    These weren't all taken at the same settings, but, I'm looking at the settings of one of the pics right now and they are F/2.8, 1/640 shutter speed, ISO 3200 with my flash, don't recall what power I used though. Glad you liked them.

    Thanks, glad you like, the shots on 7 & 16 were shots that you would understand if you have been to a GlobeTrotters game. They run a bunch of funny plays where folks are running around and passing the ball really fast. I wanted to capture that.
