I like 4 and 5. Try to get all of the ball in 5 though. Overall nice job

in addition to what i've already told you, i think that the lighting really makes for a good atmosphere, it has like a real "big time" feel to it or something... like, this aint just the high school gym anymore... ya know?

IMO

White balance a bit cold, and these all seem to have been shot at f/8ish judging on the tight bokeh. Wide open should have left for more shallow DOF than this.

All of them were shot at f/2.8 so I don't know why there isn't a nice bokeh. I don't think there that cold looking but you have to remember we are all freezing cold Wisconsinites.

lol, i saw your original response to that ,phil....

i thought the DOF looked a bit un-shallow too though actually....

Yea I'm not denying that it is shallow and all of them were for sure shot with f/2.8 my guess is that its the crappy canon camera I was using

hmm, when i shot court side b-ball, i had shallower DOF than that with my 80-200. You must have just been further away.
