Fastest selling youth Basketball Picture

[xtrpureguts]

Came across this while looking for a different picture yesterday. I was working a basketball tournament a few months ago and took this picture late in the first half. I pride myself on not chimping other than to validate settings. But, this boy saved a ball going out of bounds and would have landed in my lap if I hadn't jumped back out of the way. Somehow I squeezed off a quick shot while scrambling backwards. The boy's parent was next to me and asked if I got the picture. We both took a quick peek and the picture was printed and sold before halftime was over.....Don

What lense the niffty fitty?

20D / 70mm with the 70-200 IS / ISO 800 / AV Priority - f 3.2 / 1/800 sec. That was some unusually good settings for indoor basketball. The gym had lots of windows and it was a weekend day game.
