Went to game at Romulus High School and they ok'd me to go up to the track above the court. Got some awesome pics from a different angle.
No offense, March Madness is coming up in Michigan!
also please check out the sports section of the board!
I have a couple of awesome gyms to shot in and get treated with respect at them! I also shoot in CYO gyms from the 20-30's in the inner City of Detroit and downriver area of Detroit. The only thing that has been updated in those gyms is the prices of admission. Got permission to shot from the running track above the gym. You want an awesome place to take pictures from!
need a 70-200mmF2.8 lens. faster is better!
I know, I may sound like a broken record, but if you want to treat yourself to a 70-200F2.8 or 24-70F2.8, rent it from lens giant. great prices, great service and they have a large selection of lens!
I rent one for $45 a week from lens giant. You don't have to buy one to enjoy this awesome lens. try www.lensgiant.com , it is a Michigan based company that has a great selection of Nikon and Canon equipment to rent. Try them and you'll be hooked!
I have used the 24-70 and it is awesome. find a spot on the baseline or under the boards and have some fun!

all these shots were taken with a 24-70F2.8!
we also have a sports section on the site, check it out!
might want to set ISO to its fastest point and work backwards. I have a 7d and take sport pictures at 6400 with camera set on AV setting with F2.8 setting. remember that there is no such thing as white lighting in gym. It is either fluorescent bulb or tungsten bulb. If your camera has an automatic white balance setting, use it. lighting changes in gyms changes every few feet and you have to find a sweet spot to take pictures from in every gym.
