Shot with my Dad's 20D and my EF-S 60 f/2.8 Macro lens. Shot in jpg mode and used NeatImage for noise reduction. C&C welcome.

All at ISO 3200, f/2.8, 1/320.








Thanks for looking.

Nice set of images. Very well done. Good timing and good faces.

It looks like you are really getting the hang of this, so I'm going to be a bit more picky about my comments, I hope you don't mind.

Some minor comments:

1) Nice shot, this is where that f/2.8 lens is killing you - a bit of DoF in order to blur the background a bit would have improved it a bit.

2) Nice Jumpshot. I like the defensive player right there and the sense of height.

3) This would be a nice image, but the focus is on the defensive player, in the case of this image, the focus should really be on the ball handler.

4) Well, it is a nice jumpshot, but really lacks something without seeing a defensive player - in addition, with that background player looking and moving away from the shooter, it really looks like a player that pulled up for a jumpshot after the whistle... #2 is a much better jumpshot.

Cheers!

Thanks, Ken.

My 85 f/1.8 is at the Canon NJ repair center with my 30D to have the AF checked and calibrated. That lens was driving me crazy because I couldn't get anything in focus with it. #2 was my favorite.
