WNBL Basketball
Hello All,
Been a long time since i posted here - Have been really busy...Too busy for any editing, but been taking photos :)
These are some photos from the WNBL, The Womens National Basketball League, Highest level comp in australia for female basketball.
Photos from the game of BENDIGO SPIRIT (blue) v TOWNSVILLE FIRE (white) - Bendigo is my home town team and is captained by 4 time olympian and former WNBA player Kristi Harrower. Bendigo went on to win the seasons championship after almost folding 1 year earlier due to financial reasons...a great turn around!
I have tried shooting basketball before but always struggled with lowlight - I managed to convince my wife to let me buy some new gear, so recently i have picked up a new body (Canon 650D) and 3 new lenses, Tamron 70-200mm F/2.8, Canon 50mm F/1.8 and Sigma 50-500mm F/5-6.3 - These were all taken with the Tamon 70-200mm

Re: WNBL Basketball
Great capture of expression on these shots. The ladies often are the best for being expressive dure a contest. That new equipment should serve you well. The 70-200 f2.8 Nikkor is my prime go to lens for basketball it should do the trick for you.

Re: WNBL Basketball
Great action! The facial expressions and timing in these is photos is really good. It looks like these girls are really battling.
Congratulations on the new gear. I just snapped up a Canon T4i / 650D, too. The price drop after the T5i / 700D was announced made it almost impossible for me not to. I already have a 7D so the image quality was pretty much a known factor. I bought it mostly for studio work and video. How hard are you pushing the ISO for these photos?
