    ACC celebrity all star basketball

    Hey guys so i had the amazing oppurtunity of photographing an ACC all star game that was actually hosted at my school It was amazing. I was court side up close with famous players like David Noel from UNC, Sheldon Williams from Duke, Sean Dockery from Duke, and Justin Gray from Wake forest. However i did not have the right equipment for the occassion which kinda sucked So i made due and tried to get the best out of what i had. I used my nikon D50 and a 28-90 3.5-5.6 lens ISO 1600 and i used my on camera flash but i put it 1.7 stops down to give it a more natural look although you can still tell i used a flash.

    What do you do when you in situations like this?

    Here are some of the shots i got

    Re: ACC celebrity all star basketball

    You got some very nice shots considering the conditions and lens you had to work with. As far as exposure I think you did about all you could within the limitations of the lighting conditions. Great opportunity for you glad you were able to take advantage of it. Need to pos ta little larger image if you want a critique. The smaller pics are hard to evaluate. Nice job and welcome to the forum I hope you will be posting more of your work.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    WB is off, but otherwise they seem ok, just hard to tell with them so small as OT said. Post photos with 640 as the long side and under 195.2kb and they will be easier to see.
