It's just a personal style, but I love your "in your face" upclose captures of the athletes and others. Great work.

Nice shots!

#1 is nice action, but not the best shot... not sure if its too dark on my monitor or what, but something about it doesnt look good on my monitor...

Everyone looks like they are having a good time. You did good on these candids/action shots.

Wow! Very nice! Is this ambient light? If so, this is way more light than most gyms. What were your settings (ISO, speed etc)?

Thaks for the comments.

I photographed the games using alien bees 800s (three of them). Once you go with off camera flash for basketball, it is very hard to go back to shooting with ambient light.

The exif data is still instack on the images. Most of them were shot with ISO 800, F4 with a 1/250 SS.

I thought that might be the case. I'm planning to do a similar set-up at our high school gym next season with two White Lightning 1200's and trip them with Pocket Wizards (or maybe Skyports). I know what you mean about the difference between ambient and strobe. I think you did an excellent job. It was hard to tell you used strobe!
