my first basketball game - George Mason vs JMU

[clarence]

My first attempt at basketball pictures.

I took my sons to their first game. We sat way up in the upper level, but still had a decent view of the action.

40D with a mix of 85/1.8, 70-200 f/4L IS, and 100-400.
Most at 1600... some 3200, some 800.
Neat Image for noise reduction.

George Mason (remember them as the Cinderella team in the 2006 Final Four?) defeated James Madison, 71-57.

Great action you captured. A few might have been cropped a bit tighter, but colors look nice. Good job!
