Ok I see here that you can shoot this game. Like others have said do not post shots where the players are sideways, or arms blocking shooters faces. Exposure, image quality and white balance looks just fine. You did a very good job Tom. This should be a giant lesson, if Jim accepts 100 out of 104 that is telling me you did great. Now be consistent, stay focused, cull carefully. Yeah Tom Yeah Tom...!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I appreciate it Jules. Coming from you that is wonderful as we ALL on here look to you for help as you really know what you are doing and we all look to you as our MASTER Photog! I think Basketball might be the toughest sport as far as bodies, because there could be 4-6 bodies in one spot going for the ball. I will work on it though and hope to get better every time out!. Thanks and BE SAFE!!

I got the first game on Max, put the other two on and waiting to see if Jim OK's them. The first game I sent in 104 and he accepted 100, so not too bad. Will see what happens. Thanks BE SAFE!!

Great photos! Your first picture needed to have all of the ball in the photo. Just my opinion

These are good! When I shoot a game I try to get the players faces, am opposing player so the viewer can tell it is a game and the ball. Your photos have all three elements and sharp focus.

Hi all sport Hog's. Went and shot 3 games Wednesday, and my knees are killing me (1 1/2 games would have been enough). Look these over and let me have it. Thanks will be waiting. BE SAFE!!

Tom,

Cleaner images this go around, less noise, white balance is good, peak of action except for a few detracting limbs as others have mentioned.

Were any of these images part of the 4 out of the 104 that did not make the MP cut? I just looked at your last few galleries, I myself am a rookie at MP with only 42 galleries but a general comment regarding the last 2 BB galleries is make sure you have the basketball, unless jubilation, in the photo's near the players hands, more impact (true for any sport). You have a ton of photo's of the player, after he unloaded the ball.

Be safe Tom, looking better and recover those knees,
Rick
