HS Basketball + 4 AB800's = Success!

The trouble with keeping strobes at ground level is the chance that they will get knocked over, hit with a ball, or by fans and be more of a distraction to the players. If you can just light one basket, that way you just concentrate on that end. When I used strobes to shoot in the NHL, I had one end lit and just concentrated on play from the blueline to the net.

I wouldn't expect them to illuminate the gym, but I am wondering if they'd work for those trouble spots at the ends of the gym/basket that I am constantly having.

So just have the lights right at the corner of the court?

I had that problem becaue people dont watch out and most of the time they don't care.

Nice shots. I've been to that gym a few times. I grew up in North Augusta, we played Rock Hill and South Pointe a bit.

Thanks, SP doesn't seem to shine as much in basketball as they do in football but they're still good.

Thank you though.

Very cool, it's really producing some harsh shadows though. Wonder how they avoid that in like NBA, or maybe they just don't use those photos. What were you able to get for settings before the strobes?

Strobes are high in the ceilings, hanging off the catwalks for pro sports. You can watch the strobes going off when watching any NHL games, once you see them though, you will always see them.

Funny you say that. Learning photography ruined watching hockey for me... I can't watch it anymore without getting super annoyed by the strobes. Never EVER noticed that they were going off until I learned that they were there in a BTS video.
