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.
