High School Basketball 2013

It's basketball season, and it's cold outside. [The icy photo above was shot during the recent ice storm.]

So staying indoors, here is some photography that I recently shot of my 15 year old granddaughter Shayna at a recent high school basketball game. It's not easy shooting these fast moving high school games, what with the poor lighting and limited sideline viewing points (I would love to be behind the basket, but they don't allow it.) Nevertheless, with a little post-processing in Adobe Lightroom, I'm generally please with the results. 

[For those photographers out there, these were taken with Canon 7D DSLR, 70-200mm f4 L IS and Canon 24-105 f4 IS lenses, at ISO 1600. Thus the apparent noise in some of those shots ("noise" in digital photography is equivalent in appearance to "grain" in film photography.)]

Unfortunately, our team lost the game.
