My first attempt at basketball. I tried a few shots using my 28-135mm but with the variable aperture, I thought the images were dark. So I changed to my 70-200mm f/4L and did the best I could to capture action with it.
Here are some examples. I'm going to try to rent a 24-70mm f/2.8 and go try it again very soon.
1) f/4.0, 70mm, 1/500, ISO12,800

On #1, I had no trouble filling the frame, lol. I feel like I needed a wider lens to show the height that he was jumping. On #2, the only thing that bothers me is the maintenance man in the background. If I crop to just the ball handler, I don't think it is as good. #3 is a technically good shot capturing the pass the the fast break but I cut off the back of his foot and I don't feel it would stand out on it's own.
