Tonight's BB game (with setup info)

[dhyravy]

Here's a couple from tonight's games. It seems as though we have really gotten away from including setup/settings information lately. That's one of the main benefits I got early on from this forum, so here's the details along with a shot of my flash setup for basketball.

Camera:
ISO 800
f2.8
Shutter 1/320
AF-C using Single Area Focus (usually on the center spot)
Center Weighted Metering
Custom White Balance

Flash:
2 Sunpak 383s at 1/2 power, fired with Elinchrom Skyport wireless RF triggers and clamped to the railings just behind the corners of the baseline. Aimed to cross about 10' above the floor at the free throw line.

Those look much better Daniel, the flash isn't as obvious

Thanks JS! I like the look with the flash, especially since I really need the contrast and color pop for the papers. Both papers are printed at the same place (the larger of the two) and tend to have a fair amount of color bleed as well as a bit of unpredictable tinting. They aren't the best at setting up the shots for print.

Great shots...I love the use of flash, for the color pop...

Real nice and thanks for sharing your settings and setup.
