Basketball is back!

ISO: 1000   f/3.5    1/200sec

I was super excited to shoot basketball again. However, it was the first time I actually had to set up the lights by myself. Granted Ndidi was there, but I was used to having a senior there to guide me in the right direction. It wasn't that hard to set up the lights but I had to ask Claire to double check what I was doing because we changed how to do the lights this year. We set up two lightstands with the flashes facing each other towards the side of the gym. The settings were at 1/2 power and at 50mm zoom. Then we had another lightstand with one flash on the side of the court pointed toward the ceiling. This flash was also at 1/2 power but it was 105mm zoom. 

I haven't had a chance to look through all of my raw files because Carlie and Kenzie processed my pictures, but this one was one of the good ones from that. It took me awhile to get back in the rhythm of basketball since you can't just "spray and pray." Timing is super important in the shooting of basketball.  This picture, in my opinion, was timed fairly well. I wish number 4 wasn't in the shot because he is kinda distracting, but the other two players are far enough to the right that he isn't in the way.
