It looks like my picture lost most of its sharpness. Needed a little faster shutter Speed 1/250 -1/300??

EXIF Data
1/200
ISO 640
F/4
80mm
24-105L

I think 1/200 is kinda slow for a fast pace sport like basketball. I would want at least 1/800 or better...might need to push your images with a higher ISO.

In this shot it looks like you captured the jumpers at the apex of the jump which slows down the action. The ball was on the move, and you can see that it's not really that sharp.

In the first image, the jump looks like it's still quickly moving upwards so the movement perpendicular to the camera is still high.

I am not sure the second one is that much sharper than the first, but I am on a crappy monitor. 1/50 th second difference (250th compared to 200th on the first) could make a difference. Both images are severely underexposed. What did you meter off of?

As Rhilton4U said, you need a lot faster shutter speed for sports. 1/500th at a minimum. You are going to need to up the ISO & up the shutter speed.

you dont need 1/800th for getting good basketball photos. if he is strobing which I think he could be.. he cant go higher than 1/250th anyway.. but you can get great shots with 1/500th or 1/640th...

Ah yes of course that's true with a strobe - I wasn't thinking about that cause I'm never lucky enough to be close enough to make use of one.

It looks like you missed the focus in the first shot... not so much a problem with your shutter speed. 2nd shot looks much more in focus.
Great captures!
