Thanks Cris, Jerome and Taks. The first was an alley-oop dunk, haha, the players here are awesome.

Thanks Earl. :)

Aly and Nolan: I was using my 20D with a 24-70mm Sigma 2.8 on Tv mode, 1/640, iso 1600, burst mode, AI one shot. I was positioned courtside, at the left or right side of the basket. Sometimes i would sit but I think the dunks were taken standing.

Nice series Fidel. The 1st one is just perfect. Pwedeng pang-poster.

I see a yellow cast in the photos though.

It must really be that dark there that you have to resort to ISO1600. Most indoor gyms are like that.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Zandy.

I was on fluorescent WB since the dominant light source was fluorescent lamps... Hmm, it wasn't that dark but I wanted to stick to 1/640 and lower ISOs made for underexposed shots.

fidel,

i think the background is more focus on the foreground especially at no.4 of your photo. that is the problem when audiences above are well lit. hard to avoid it.

Good observation Brian. It's my fault too since I used Tv mode so the aperture was not a constant 2.8... So the DOF increased. And yeah, for number 4, it was a fastbreak play so I just pointed the camera and hoped for the best.

Thanks tet. :)

yeh, i know how you feel. ive been there. one more thing try manual once you get the metering (inside court) stick to it. so that you wont have a blur or under/over exposed photos. as lomg as you shoot from the court. shutter priority wont help you all the time. thats from my experience. =) cheers!

(OT=hope we can both take photos of basketball. where are you based?)
