Mar 05, 2007 19:41 | #1 Here are some I just went through tonight. These are all ISO1600 from the Section championships in eastern NY. These are all with 1DMk2Ns... 200 f/1.8 or 85 f/1.8. Most of the 200 shots also had a TC1.4 teleconverter in the mix. Processed in PS CS2 for exposure and color adjustment and mild sharpening.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  7.  8.  Mike

Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

Other than the second shot, I think the exposures and color are where I wanted them. I generally focus on the skin tones and let the rest go where it goes. This comes from selling to parents and they want to see the kids faces. There is some variation in the color on a couple of them... again because I made some adjustments. That second one ended a little colder than I like, but it was what worked best for the image. Looks like you're upstate NY.

I don't have access either, but I shoot for the schools yearbook (Colonie, NY - In Albany, NY) and could most likley get you in as my friend has credidentials and I just walk in with him everywhere for free and get all access...The only thing you really need to get in to high school games is a nice looking camera around your neck. 1D Mark II | 70-200mm F2.8L | 17-40mm F4.0L

Mar 07, 2007 08:38 | #12 About half and half. I usually hand hold it all the time for basketball. But, here I was using a TC1.4 so its 280mm, not 200mm... and that makes it harder. I still did a little of both, but this weekend for the first time I did do more monopod use than I've done before with basketball. Part of my problem is that usually I'm in small high school gyms where there is very little room between the baseline and the wall. You have to be ready to jump out of the way in an instant, and the extra bulk of the monopod slows you down. These were in an arena and thus we had plenty of room... not to mention a half dozen photographers and TV camera men there in a row beside me. So the monopod worked pretty well. If I had to guess, I'd say the first and last may have been monopod... 50/50 chance... none of the rest were. Mike
