Mahalo Jeff, I'll try it this Friday at my daughters game. I did try to set it at 1/125 and the lighting was perfect also colors. But, like you said there was bluuuuuurrrrr. I try to anticipate and get the best action shots (it helps when you play during the haydays :-) Again thank you and I'll post some photos of the game.

Hi Greg. Yes, I did take some action shots, but they weren't very interesting. I don't know if I can give you much advice about indoor sports photography that you don't already know or can figure out. My primary piece of advice - shoot lots of pictures because many of them won't be keepers. I notice that you shoot on film, so it may get a little expensive to go that route. The main problem is timing the action to get something interesting. Shoot with the fastest film and best lens you have. Color balance is a problem shooting under incandescent or mercury vapor lights. I don't know what you can do about that on film (post-process?). With digital you can set a different white balance point. I would also recommend shooting on shutter speed priority at the slowest speed you can hold. Don't worry too much about a little under-exposure you can post-process that out. A tripod might help you go with a slower shutter speed, but then the action shots get very blurred. I don't ever take a tripod to games.

Thanks Don. Yes, I went to the University of Kansas. I've been a huge Jayhawk basketball fan ever since.

Aloha Jeff, nice shot. Did you take any action shots? If so any tips for me, my daughters started their pre-season games and need to get my settings right. Because of the difficult lighting in the gym and also the movment factor. Again great shot Jeff.

I didn't know that you were a Kansas fan. Did you go to school in Kansas?? This is a well exposed picture. Don.

Ironically, this is almost the exact same shot he missed tonight to lose the game and go out in the first round. :-(

You took a great exposure with the Dimage, Jeff. Good composition and great color in difficult light. Well done! We will be watching Kansas tonight too!
