Pinecrest High School basket ball team takes another victory.

a very intense game

for those of you who are holding their breath as to if he makes the shot or not, he does. in excelent form :p

for those of you intrested in trying sports photogrophy, Sharp focus is esential, and though you may want to use a higher fstop to give you more room for play in the focus and all that fun stuff; you really dont want to because if you get it too high you will have the audience in focus and they take away from the picture i find.

Lens and camera

i used a Sigma dg 70-300 macro lens for this shot, its f stop onl goes down to 4 so this is one really lucky shot becuase it wasnt under exposed or over exposed by my flash :s my camer is a Fuji S2 pro. i got it for chirstmas and it is my Baby. the shutter speed i used i think was like 125 or something like that. and i am also so mad that i wasnt standing far back enough to get the entire player into the picture.
