NCAA UL -vs- UConn

[AdamLewis]

Well, UConn is #1 in the nation and they made it pretty apparent why. UL was strong every now and then but UConn was just very very consistent.

CC appreciated. Tried some very new stuff.

Well focused pictures and movements stopped. The red tinge on 3,5 and 7 is coming from? Not a big deal on 3 and 7 but on 5 it accounts for about 30% of her uniform.

How on earth do you get your images to be so sharp???

I think there's either something wrong with me, or something wrong with my gear :(

amazing images, I use you as an inspiration and as my target.

The red tinge is the red lanes of the court at Freedom Hall. When I first started shooting there, I was puzzled by it myself but then I realized what it was and that theres nothing I could (or should) do about it.

Haha well Im flattered but I dont know about the sharpness. Only sharpening I do is using standard picture style and then a very slight USM in post.

i'm dead serious Adam, I was going through ur images that I saved on my Mac before my game started, well, also those of the NBA.

i can't seem to get my images that sharp... also, i think i'm going to try iso 640 rather than 800.

mind if I ask, what setup are you using... gear wise, i know it's not relevant, more of a user problem(me) than a gear problem.

Those are all with a MkIII and a 70-200 f/2.8 or a 300 f/2.8.

If Im shooting off ambient light, its 1600 ISO, 1/640~1/800 Tv (I cant decide which I like more), and f/2.8.
If Im shooting off the strobes, its 200 ISO, 1/320 Tv, and f/4.

[Aaagogo]

i know it's not the equipment, it's just me...

so it's proven that a nice camera doesn't naturally take nice images, ROFL

i'll try and try again, oh Adam, please share more images ok, I'm using you and NBA as a guide :)

thanx

Glad to see you giving the lady players a little love too. Nice work.

[AdamLewis]

I try to find stuff other than the typical under-the-basket shots for women's games but I find it more challenging since they just dont quite do as much. Its definitely teaching more as a photographer to shoot the women's games as well
