And I have to tell you for those that do this I give you alot of credit. Not that easy of a job, but I gave it a shot. As many of you know I have been contemplating the purchase of some new glass. Finally arrived today,



just in time to take it out of the box and head over to the arena for NSU's home opener against North Alabama

Only a few of these have been retouched so far. I'm sure it will take a little getting use to to get these the way that I want them to be, so practice , practice, practice. Thanks for looking and have a great night............

Imax,
Good work for a first time shooting B-ball indoors Looks like you checked out quite a few vantage points. So did ya have fun?

Looks like you got decent exposures (amazing in and of itself) using F4. So the lighting was excellent. For next time, I'd suggest getting closer (or zooming tighter) and try to get on the other side of the court. The lefthand side, as your team is coming down the court. Most players attack the basket from the right side. So you will get more faces when positioned to the left

Still, you should be proud. Ya dun gud

what I have been doing.

To little time to have fun Steve even though that's what it's suppose to be. I was to busy trying to follow the action through the lens. I suppose it will take some time getting use to it.

As for the suggestions as where to be thanks for that. I pretty much can go wherever I want on the court so I guess practice makes perfect.

One thing that confuses me though. Why is everyone so surprised that this particular lens works well indoors?

Well thanks to both of you for the response. I appreciate it and I look forward to next weeks action. Will see what happens on Tuesday night with a different team.
