As the HS Hoops season has ended, thought I'd share one of my better shots, taken at the Univ of Colorado's Coors Events Center. Teams were Ralston Valley (blue) and Highlands Ranch (white). Nikon 7100 Manual F2.8, ISO 1600, 1/1000, w/a Nikkor 70-200 2.8 Lens. The Events Center at CU now has LED lights, which make it fairly easy to get decent action shots vs many of the local HS gyms, where lighting is erratic, to say the least and one must constantly fool with white balances and push the ISO often to 6400. Also, rather than try and follow the ball everywhere, I'll focus on the basket or the floor beneath (the key) and when players enter, start banging shots at Continuous High speed (up to 6 F/S). That's not to say I don't often get skunked with great action that's not tack sharp. But sooner or later e.g. after 4 quarters of action, I'll usually get a few good ones.

No question - between the noise & the color balance, hoops are tough to shoot. You sure got this one right , though!
