I have the great fortune of occasionally getting to use OSU's strobes during games. I would just like a little feedback on some of my recent attempts so that when I use them again I might have some ideas on how to take better photos. The first 2 were taken with strobes on opposite corners of the stadium and the 3rd photo was taken with 2 strobes on the same side of the stadium. Any thoughts?

Ethan, exif would help a ton in providing some advice. Based on what I see, you need to allow a little more ambient in. The third seems to be the best exposure of the group to me.

The lighting isn't even, as evidenced by the shadows in 1 & 2.
#3 looks good.:)
Can you be more specific about the strobe placement?

Here is a shot of the stadium and where one of the strobes is located. The stadium is the same on both sides so the strobes are all at the same height and distance from the court.
