Haha, I noticed that too, but when I did I had already brought down the backdrop, dismounted all the lighting, put away the cameras and whatnot, couldn't be asked to redo that take :D
Olá David. Daqui João de Portugal 😁 Olha eu tenho uma Nikon d850 e uma lente Nikon 70-200mm para fotografar futsal e padel. A dúvida q eu tenho quanto aos settings é no WB, no balanço de cores, qual utilizar. Gde abraço e viva o Glorioso o nosso Benfica
Hello thanks for the tip I have an A6000 with the 17-70 2.8 Tamron this is really fast for bsketball I shoot at Highschool here in Texas I allways use center but when I am under the goal using 17 mm what focus point should I use knowing the person is going to dunk do i just use live view and hope for the best and aim that direction becuase if I use the viewfinder I might get trampled over.
My struggle is with the inconsistent and terrible lighting in most high school gyms. I run 1/1000, f/2.8 and auto ISO (1Dx, 24-70mm f/2.8). Once, I tried setting a custom white balance before a game using my white card, but it didn't look right. I try to adjust my white balance in post, but this and overall exposure are the most frustrating parts. It seems most of the time, the auto ISO ends up at about 5000, thus there's usually a fair amount of noise. Any suggestions?
School gyms are often terribly lit, not much you can do about it. What I would suggest is that you get to the match a bit earlier so that you can practice your shots before the game starts and nail down your settings. Perhaps lower your shutter speed to 1/800 and see if it's still acceptable. In certain situations like free throws, or anything where there's barely any movement, you can go way lower, and thus, lowering your ISO too. But the main suggestion would be to "practice" during the warm ups to get a feel of the lighting of that particular gym.
@@bifftanner2190 1/500 is too slow. I get motion blur at 1/1000 at times. I've since gotten an R3 and I shoot with a 70-200 2.8. I've messed around with setting ISO, but I've always had the best and most consistent results with auto ISO. I'm finishing up football soon, then I'll be able to really experiment and fine tune my basketball settings with the new R3.
I shoot under the basket with a 50mm at f/1.8 all the time with good results. I'm usually within 10-12 ft of the players.
Very enlightening video. I'm starting my own sports basketball photography. Thanks for this
Best of luck Jordan!
Good video, I may be shooting my very first basketball match next week sometime so this video has some very good pointers.
Thanks for the video. So much valuable information in just 15 minutes. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the tutorial it's amazing info. I'm trying a motocross practice tomorrow I'm going to use some of your training thanks.
Thanks Greg, and good luck with the motocross practice, hope you get some cracking shots!

Good tips and it's dribbling not driving down the court. 👍🏿👍🏿
I’ve hear both said, tomato tomato
I feel like my aspc sony a6600 is not good enough at managing iso … is full frame much better ?

what lense wld u use if u can get right behind the basket? tht's is where i try to position myself.
I'm new to photography (~6 months), so I'm still learning, but my go-to lens for basketball is 24-70mm f/2.8 II.

Turn off your auto ISO 1/500 f 2.8 iso 4 to 50000. Play with the ISO settings til you feel comfortable
