A high school gym has balconies behind each basket, offering an unique angle and a fresh way to show players' eye contact at peak moments.

Nice stuff DC. Not many have that. I've shot some VB at Columbus North and down in Seymour that might lend itself for this view, but nothing close by. Is that at Perry Meridian?

That's a great perspective. You're lucky to have that option. Very cool. That first shot is really nice.

That is a nice perspective, a lot more interesting than the usual shots from the stands that most shots you see are taken from.

First one is the only one I really care for. The rest are cut off in weird places or the composition is off.

Yes. The Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 lens used can easily cover both ends of a basketball court.

Used the gym's available ceiling light, checked with a light meter. The image was cleaned up with Imagenomic Noiseware.
