Here are a couple of photos I made recently at a basketball game. The pictures were made witrh a Nikon D7000 camera and 2 Nikon SB-800 speedlight flash units. The SB-800's were on stands in an upper balcony pointed downward at the gym floor. One on each side of one end of the court.
I had them set to manual mode at 1/8th power. ISO set at 1000, zoomed the flash head to the 85mm setting. I used a Quantum wireless radio controller to fire the flashes.
I then set the camera manually to also pick up enough ambient light that I would be able to salvage any shot that was good, but happened to be made in between the flash cycles. I found this set up to be more than adequate. The 1/8th power setting enabled the flash units to fire 3 or 4 times in quck succession and create acceptable exposures.
