7th Grade Wolves Basketball 11/27/2012

I decided to shoot my nephew playing basketball tonight.  It was their first game as Wolves so all the players were pumped up!  They fought hard and Ethan played very well, especially in the clutch times toward the end; yet, they lost by one point.  Good effort guys!  You’ll get them next time! I’ve not really tried sports photography much, though I love football and basketball.  I knew I needed a fast shutter speed and lighting is never great in these gyms.  The gear and settings I used were…

  • Nikon D600
  • Sigma 70-200 F2.8
  • Aperture priority mode
  • ISO 4000
  • F 2.8
  • Shutter speeds varied but seemed to hovered around 1/400th of a second
