Default All This to Get This !! Basketball

2 hours of prep time, followed by 60 minutes of holding ones breath hoping to hell that a ball dosnt pop over the top, to get one frame.

Nice shot man. Looks like your focus was off slightly and there's some slight blur and noise. What ISO were you using? I would also try bringing the camera up higher and angling it down more. I've given it a go a few times. Here's the best one I've gotten.
