    Tonight's HS Girls BB

    The season has started in earnest now and I'm having a great time. Business is good as well with both papers running full page photo essays of my shots last week and one of the HS teams asking for super size custom posters. If the rest of the year goes this well, I'll be a happy camper! Here are a few from tonight's game.

    Thanks JB. Yea, I use a pair of 383s mounted about 12 rows up in the stands off of the corners of the court and aimed about 10 feet over the free throw line triggered with RF remotes. If I set the flashes at 1/4 power, I can get 3 or 4 pops before a recycle and shoot at ISO 800, f2.8, 1/320. If I go up to 1/2 power I can drop to ISO 400 but I have to wait a little over a second between shots. These were at 1/2 power.

    I think I'd get them higher up, there is some refliction off the facesin the bottom two that shows the flash is obvious, you want a natural look that doesn't show use of flash, otherwise very good.
