Jr Jazz Basketball

Below are three pictures from this weekends fifth grade game. The faces are what make these shots.

The only way to stop his speed was to grab his undershirt.


I used my D300 with the 50mm f1.8 at f2.0 and 1/500 shutter speed. ISO was at 1000 most the day. There are some nice skylights in this gym. What has helped in basketball is taking my monopod and putting my full ballhead on it so I can shot portrait most the time and easily flip it up to landscape when needed. Sitting on the floor, just to the left or right of the basket gives a great angle for the fast breaks and inside play.
