Basketball

I shot one of my son's basketball games this Wednesday and captured this drive to the basket by one of his teammates. The face was great.

I used my Nikon 50MM f/1.8 on my D300, Aperture Priority at f/1.8, Shutter Auto (1/640) and ISO of 800. I shot landscape and cropped to portrait. I was right under the basket. The gym's lighting wasn't as bad as other gyms, but as seen in the background the walls are black with a dark red trim. This really darkens the gyms; however, provides a nice backdrop for this player's face.

Happy New Year

My family managed to make it out for some New Year's Day sledding. This picture is one of many good ones of the kids. We have my old Flexible Flyer which is perfect for morning runs when the hill is still icy.
