Scott check thisout

Thanks... so he was shooting ISO640, 1/250, f/3.5... close to what I was doing - but his lights must have been stronger or closer - because I like that look better!

Glad to hear it, Lisa. I knew it had to be a setting.

Plus he may have had really good court lights already.

Somewhere there is a whole spiel about strobing a BB game...the best lighting was when they were able to set the strobes directly above the court. I'll look and see if I can find it when I get a spare moment or two...seems like they were using 4-AB800s.

I was using this as a rough guide http://www.gophotograp​hy.net/tips/lighting.h​tml (external link)

Plus reading tons of POTN posts... AB800s are more powerful! hmm... I might try 1/2 power on the flash instead of 1/4 - that will help.

They were using the strobes at full power...that I remember...they weren't worried about recycle time...the shooter was saying it was more important to get one good shot on a trip down the court than 3-4 marginal shots...

That makes sense... I had 8.5 fps at my disposal, but I was on burst-L and never fired off more than 2 shots at a time.

Some truly amazing bird shots tonight.

I've been off voting -- only three shares to go. The first pass is easy. It's the second, third, and fourth ones that are taking time. :lol:
