Last Friday I photographed high school basketball. Last night I photographed high school basketball. Tonight I am photographing high school basketball. It is probably the single most thing that I dislike to photograph. But what is one to do? One must pay the bills, so you photograph what The Man wants photographed and you takes your pay.
I've been using a Nikon D7000 camera for these ganes. I'm not so sure it's the best choice. I will use it again tonight to see how it goes.
Once again the Better Half and I are at odds with one another. 'Tis the season to be merry.
The transmission bit the dust on my 2002 Dodge Caravan. Repair bill will be around the $1,500.00 mark. That's a nice thing to buy myself for Christmas.
When will I ever get to buy a new guitar?
I do not have time to post a photograph at this moment in time.

Nothing wrong with a D7000 for basketball....I used my 7 year-old D70 last week and got some awesome shots baseline using a 50mm f/1.8. yea, 1600 ISO on a D70 is pretty grainy. Set your D7000 to Auto ISO max 6400, min shutter at 1/400 and shoot away at wide open or one stop slower. D7000 is pretty good at auto WB too. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOh and set it on Aperature Priority so you are only adjusting that depending on the Depth of Field you want for your shot. Your shutter will not drop below what you set in the auto ISO menu. If it works, save all the settings to U1 or U2 and don't worry again! (until you go to a gym with different lighting! Ugghh)
ReplyDeleteI had really good luck lighting the game with 2 Nikon flashes. I hope to put a couple photos up here with explanation of how I set up the flash units.
