A bit of NBL action

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.

A bit of NBL action

Postby mickeyjuice on Wed Oct 24, 2007 12:25 am

First time shooting an NBL match. The lighting in Challenge Stadium is pretty horrible. Shot manual, mostly at 1600, 1/250th, 2.8 - 40D with a Sigma 70-200.

Not being a fan of basketball, I will say however that the entertainment looks like something I would enjoy. :)

And the good bit is, they're the easiest parts of the game to shoot! :P

I'm not much of a basketball fan either, but it's good practice, and I learned a huge amount.

Well, you never know these days :-)

Thanks - I learned a LOT there that arvo from my mate, who shoots for Gettys. Mates are very helpful.

Ta. It'd be fair to say that the 40D is a major improvement over the (ancient) 10D, and Lightroom does a great job of processing. (No PS used, just Lightroom.)

Shooting manual certainly helped keep things nice and predictable.

I'm not a big fan of NBL, although it looks like a very interesting league
however, with those king of cheerleaders I think I'll start going to games :) just kidding...
