First try at basketball with 1d

These are 5th grade "all-net" basketball players. They move fairly fast but I got away with 1/500th of a second most of the time. I really liked the 8fps with the 1d

Number 3 is my favorite out of the series. Keep up the good work.

What lens did you use with the 1D?

tamron 28-75 f2.8

Always tough with that type of lighting. Nice work. My only recommendation is a little NR for #2 and #4 (Topaz Denoise is killer).

thankss ill give it a try!

Nice work!

Thank you

good shots! I love the expressions you captured!

ran a couple through noise reduction with lightroom

the expressions are hilarious. Great shots

Very nice. The 1D is great for sport photography.

Nice to see the classic still being used as intended.

thanks everyone. I had fix the broken links in my original post because I re uploaded all the pictures and tried to fix the purplish cast in a lot of them

If those images were your first with the 1D, the color balance is great the expression of the children's faces you captured is priceless. The players are in great focus and the background, crowd etc are blurred as they should be. The color temp in the gym I shoot in are one temp and one end and another at the other end because of skylights, so I attempt to get a happy medium and use an Expo Disc. Thanks for posting them. Now I wished I had bought the 1D Mark IIn instead of the 5DMark II, the 1D is the besgt body in the hand of the sports shooter.
