After following much of the advise on this forum I began using my PCB Einsteins for shooting basketball this season. So far I've discovered that timing my shots is much more difficult than I expected.

Typically my strobes are at full power with ISO around 500 aperture 4.0 shutter at 1/250. The increased DOF Shooting F4.0 seems to give me more keepers. Thanks to everyone on this forum for providing a lot of good information so that a newbie like me can learn this stuff! Here are some samples of my first strobed game.

Any advise is appreciated.

If I could give a criticism it would be to watch horizon. Otherwise, good stuff

#2 is he doing a kung-fu kick?

EDIT: did you shoot direct or did you bounce the light? I'm strobbing my next game.
