Megaphones, cheerleaders and a huddle

[Lonnie]

A few shots I took at a basketball game tonight. I used an action called "SuperFunHappy" on these. What do you guys think?

What shooting mode were you in?

Your ISO is all over the place as is your shutter speed, F/2.8 is to shallow a depth of field ( blurry or soft areas) for these shots, f/8 would have worked better.

The "search" button (in the blue bar)will give you a lot of suggestions for this type of photography.

I was shooting with a lens (Sigma 70-210) that can only be used wide-open on digital EOS mounts. I like to shoot basketball at around 1/1000, so it's really not an issue. Shooting slower than f/2.8 is not a luxury I often have indoors. f/8, if it were possible with this lens, would be too slow anyway. I'm sitting in a seat in an arena so - no tripod or monopod.

I've been a member of this forum for almost 3 years...I know where the search function is. Thanks. :(

2 is not bad but for my taste the softness is a bit much and overdone on the others.
