One of the HS teams that I cover played a tourney consolation game in their auxiliary gym. I couldn't believe how dark it was when I walked in. There were 25 or so not-so-bright lights which barely made it light enough to even play a game. I stuck around and gave it a shot; here's what I ended up with using a 50D, 85mm f/1.8 at f/2.0, ISO 6400 and 1/640 sec for all the shots shown. Of course, there was a bit of Neat Image noise reduction thrown in during PP. The two shots below were taken from an elevated running track that goes around the perimeter of the gym, which made for some fun and different shooting (i.e. no zebra butts in my shots!).
The championship games were being played at the same time in the main gym, so I felt like a kid again at Thanksgiving and being relegated to the kids' table.
