Louisville Basketball (Game 2)

Second exhibition game of the season

3.

Forgot this one

#2&4 are very nice.the exposure and sharpness works for me.

Great shots, did you use the 70-200?? Looks more like 300 to me?

Just the 70-200 on the 40D

Good work Sam. One thing though. I take it you all have cieling mounted strobes?

Dave,

Freedom Hall, does have Strobes, mounted high up. But, they are not necessary, to shoot in Freedom. I've shot 1/500th, 2.8, ISO 800, no problem at all in Freedom, with only half of the Light Banks, turned on.

If shooting court-side, a 16-35/2.8 + 70-200/2.8 are quite sufficient to cover most of the angles. The 300 can be used, but really, is not needed in Freedom, unless, your aiming for a specific angle. Then of course, that is just my opinion.

Good stuff Sam. We start here in Cleveland very very soon and I can't wait. The last one is tough to get my head around. I don't love the image but what was happening there?

I love the others man, a few in particular!!

The Louisville Athletic Department uses the strobes and shoots something insane like 1/300th at f/8 haha.

I typically do 1/640 at 2.8 and 1600ISO or 1/500th at 3.2 and 1600ISO (brighter, but sharper)

When I shot the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight in Indianapolis last year I was able to do 1/800 at 3.5 and 800ISO haha it was ridiculously bright

For the second half I can either stay in my spot and shoot UL's backside or go near midcourt on the sideline. That's best for faces but I'm still getting used to the side angle. I always like to have faces in the photos, but that one just seemed like it had a lot of action.

That's Siva going for a highly contested layup

Nice shots! Peyton Siva is SICK! That tip reverse dunk was unbelievable. How tall is he?
