    Basketball expressions

    The quality of these pics is horrid. I really had a horrible shoot yesterday, but these kids expressions are great.







    This is one of the acceptable shots I got, and it was kinda dark. I had to shoot .jpeg because I only have one working CF card right now as i am waiting on an RMA for the others. Normally, I would shoot in RAW.

    My name is Scott, and I take pictures.

    Re: Basketball expressions

    Some of these gyms are a nightmare to try and get enough light to get a good exposure. I've had my share of them. But your right the little guy's expression in the second one is worth a lot. Nice catch on that one. Some times in situations like this we have no other option than to pull out the flash.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Re: Basketball expressions

    You are so correct. Their expressions are priceless.

    Have you tried to lighten them up in photo shop?
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.
