    Hi Shima!

    It looks to me like you've been improving! Your images seem to be getting sharper and sharper, with lots of faces and action!

    As a very new newbie using the 70-200 for HS basketball, I have a question for you. How much post-processing do you do for these? I've been pushing the ISO to 1600 or sometimes 3200 because of the poor lighting, and the noise is a problem with all of my shots. After noise-reduction in LightRoom, I believe the image quality suffers. Do you do much noise-reduction?

    Thanks,
    Betsy

    Yes they won, 82 to 73!

    I don't do noise reduction in Lightroom. I only shoot at ISO 1600 because that's all my Rebel XTi goes up to. We have pretty terrible lighting because they don't keep all the lights on, so I shoot at f2.8 and 1/400 and then come back to the computer and have been doing WB tweaking, and curves to lighten (i usually increase darks when I'm working in Lightroom curves for the best results)
