Gear: Canon 5D Mark III; Canon 70-200 2.8L
Settings: 1/640th of a second, f/2.8, ISO 10,000, 70mm
The story: Yep, ISO 10,000. That's the story. One of the dungeon-iest gyms in our coverage area, and it doesn't help that there's no light shining on faces when kids are up and looking at the hoop. That forces me into some serious compromising. Gotta do what you gotta do.
Why I like it: Honestly, this was probably the only one I was pleased with. I was shooting in an odd position because of the cheerleaders and the setup of the gym -- I was actually up on the auditorium stage, shooting from a couple of feet behind the hoop. So the 70-200 was really tight. Action right at the hoop was too close, too dark. This one was the perfect shot for me ... filled the frame, relatively sharp. There's actually some motion blur from shooting at 1/640th, and obviously lots of grain from shooting at ISO 10,000. But its good action, and also a cool background with the mascot pirate on the far wall.
