it was nice not to be shooting hoops for a change...
these were all shot handheld with the 70-200 at iso3200 at 1/640 f/2.8
   
these were shot with the 16-35 at iso1600 at 1/125 f/2.8
  
especially considering i'm covering 3 college games today ;-)

| Nice, tough in those low light gyms. I'm shooting a basketball game to day for some parents, kids are in the 4th/5th grade. I think I can get away with a flash. Do you think the 420ex has enough power to bounce off the high ceilings? The college gyms probably be better lighting. As always your sport stuff is cool......ace |

bounce? no. with your 20d, though, you shouldn't need flash. you should be able to shoot iso800 or iso1600 and get around 1/320 - 1/400, which is more than adequate. with kids that age, you could probably even go down to 1/200 and still acceptably freeze the action. if you want to use the flash, though, just point it at them, and make necessary adjustments with the flash compensation control. i can't remember, but i don't think the 420 has high-speed sync--be sure to check first. good luck, and have fun! |

Your right, shot some highschool ball last year, the settings you mention are just about what I shot at. Never used a flash at BBall games. I seen some stuff on the sport fm forum with a flash, it look pretty solid. Didn't think about the age and speed to what I want as a finished product......Thanks
They didn't use flash actually, they used a strobe set up....
