Those are pretty good considering a lot of people have trouble with indoor sports lighting and keeping the shutter speed up. You stripped out the metadata so we can't see your settings which might help a lot of people.

I used noiseware, I guess that takes away the settings.

I never would have guessed you used a 50mm lens and 12800 ISO. Nice job. Keeping the shutter at 1/1000 froze the action quite nicely and I have no idea how you got the white balance so nice. I would almost think that the court has big skylights to let a lot of outside sunlight in and that this was a day game.

You might want to repost this in your original thread... This will be moved to the gallery before you have the time to type 'oops'.

Nice pics and I understand how hard it is to get them in this environment.

Nice shot. It looks like the lighting is very good at this gym. What settings, camera?

Thank you for the compliment. horrible lighting in this gym as with most high schools. I usually shoot close to 800 shutter speed, iso 2000, and in the 1.6 to 2.0 aperture range. Sony a99mi sony cz 85mm 1.4. Girls this time even worst lighting(#25 my daughter), which is why I started.

Thanks for the info Bugguy. Someone told me to shoot at iso at least 10,000 to stop the action. I use a 70-200 2.8 and 50mm 1.8. Now as I look back the iso was way to high, and I should have shot at 800 or so to stop the action. I think I am getting motion blur no matter what speed. I am older and it's hard to support the bigger lens. Maybe a monopod next time would help. These shots are iso 4000 and about 500-800 a sec.

From what I've read your camera can handle high iso very well. Nikons are known for this. I'm certainly no expert and your pics look good to me. Practice practice practice to see what works for you. What other primes do you have?

Actually there were big windows on each side of the gym letting it outside light. However the day was cloudy.

Personally from what I've read/heard/experienced the only lens that really would work for you as far as basketball is the 70-200 and 50. The others will not provide enough light. Again You have a excellent camera for high iso and frame rate.
