Indoor Netball

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

This is my work's social team.

I've have not shot this, or basketball before for that matter, it was a bit different for a change

All shot with D300 and either 50 1.8 or Sigma 50-150 at ISO anywhere between 1600 and 2000

Reasonable pix in terms of the action.

However, these photos seem to be a tad overexposed, particularly in comparison to your earlier soccer work. I realise that we are seeing a totally different environment for photography, but these are too brightly lit for me. I thought your earlier sports shots were excellent.

And I hate the frames. :) But that is a totally subjective verdict - I seem to have a pre-programmed negative reaction to all frames.

Thanks for the feedback, I guess the frames might be a bit passe. Ta

Re the exposure, bit of a test here for me to push exposure a little right than what I might do normally - not quite to blowing highlights which I think is OK here ?

I am experimenting a little with the noise at these sorts of quite high ISO with the theory being avoid underexposure at all costs. I did shoot these in RAW so I'll look at ratcheting exposure down a tad, thanks again.
