Teammate of my oldest grandson driving, second photo my Grandson Zach following up on the loose ball to score.

Nikon D-5000 - 70-200mm f2.8 Lens, Aperture Mode, f2.8, 1/400 sec, iso 1600.

Feedback welcome, I am an old man still trying to learn how to take photos.

Blessings,

tom

Not to bad for an old fart! You need to carry a brick and put it under your right foot tho. You are still leaning.:):):) How is the back doing? are your exercises helping some? I bet it is a lot easier on you shooting basketball than football.:) At least you can sit down some. I sent you an email.:)

Much better than previous shots you've posted. Did you change lens or just moved back a bit?? Now as Erv said you need to straighten them and then learn to crop so you can get some tight shots of your grandson but much improved. I forgot to ask if you have any PP program to make these fixes. A good start up program is Picasa and you'll be able to do these fixes with a few button pushes. Plus the program is free---can't beat that price........

Tom, Good shots and people need to be careful as one of these days all of us old farts are going rise up and wreak revenge. Have fun and keep shootin'. Mike
