Posted: Tue May 12, 2009 7:30 pmI really like #1 and 4#. What lens and lights were you using?
Re: Netball - Swifts v Thunderbirds
Posted: Tue May 12, 2009 9:21 pmthey are all primo shots there! given the typical lighting of indoor stadiums you have done very well, not only in a technical sense but also the composition of the shots are great, something I would expect to see in a sports mag. 
Care to share some exif data on them?

Posted: Tue May 12, 2009 9:44 pmIt seems like that you had perfect elevation where you sat. You seem to be just above the players' eyelines...
I would love to see what would happen with wireless flash in this sort of setting.

Posted: Tue May 12, 2009 9:57 pmNice shots David with great colour. Were you using the 70-200 F4 IS by any means or the 17-55 Tamron?

Posted: Tue May 12, 2009 9:59 pmGreat shots David! It must have been pretty tough conditions being indoors under lights like that.
I am also going to ask 'which lens??' from the 40D right?

Posted: Wed May 13, 2009 10:01 amThanks for the comments guys 
I was using the 40D. 2nd was with the 50mm f/1.4 and the rest with the 70-200 F/4 IS
I asked about taking in the camera and was told it was fina as long as I didn't use flash. The lighting in the State Sports Centre is surprisingly bright. (Much better than a rugby night game for example)
The 2nd was taken landscape and cropped to portrait - EXIF ISO400, 1/200 and F/2.8
next three shot with the 70-200 at F/4 with either ISO400 and 1/100th (for ball movement) or ISO800 and 1/200th
I was pretty impressed with the quality at higher ISO - I haven't done any NR on these.
As far as location, you can't beat box seats
Thanks again for the comments

Really? I've always been told that no cameras were allowed at all.
Fine, I'll have to pack the 70-200/2.8 VR next time I go
Err... which might be tomorrow.Re: Netball - Swifts v Thunderbirds

I'm not sure about regular entry but VIP box tickets might have had something to do with the decision
