Was fortunate to get credentials for the home opener of NC State's Women's Basketball. The place was sold out. I doubt there were more than twenty ope seats in the arena. A nail biter of a game but #3 State prevailed in overtime 88-80 over #22 Florida State. A few images from the game. Shot with my Z9 and Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8 lens with shutter speed of 1/1000, f2.8 and auto ISO from about 3200-5000.

Fabulous series of pivotal moments... the clarity and color saturation on the downloads is simply superb... While I'm impressed with your kit i.e. "shutter speed of 1/1000, f2.8 and auto ISO" it is the stellar framing and precise timing of capture that you brought to the table that reflects your breathtaking aesthetics and keen knowledge of the sport...

UHH is fortunate to have members who work at the zenith of our craft aboard... I'm typically only seeing this level of excellence on flickr... It's UHH members like you that occasionally bring me back to UHH...

All the best on your inspirational journey... I trust that the players you captured have been able to see your superb renderings of their finest moments...

Cheers! Thomas

Great stuff my man. The lighting looks fantastic. Iso 3200 I would kill for. I am at 10,000 except at the Thomas and Mack arena.

NCSU does do a very good job of lighting the gym for the women's basketball team. Over all my shots, it comes down to a bit of a bell curve distribution. Some at 3200, some at 5000. The remainder in the 3600-4000 range. I also shoot gymnastics and volleyball in that same venue, but they don't light it nearly as well for those sports. For those, I am in the 5000-6400 range. Can't explain it, just have to adapt!
