Took these shots a couple of months ago at a Lakers game but hadn't had a chance to get to them until now. Thanks for taking a look!

These are fantastic action shots Eddie! I love seeing the looks on the fans' faces as well.
Tha last one is great with the referee in there.

Thanks, Sandy. I'm glad you like them.

Great series Eddie, I couldn't see the exif data, would you mind to tell me? I tried to shoot some indoor sport pictures, but never succeed. Did you use flash? thanks

Eddie,
These rock... You should be proud.
no.# 3 is the best. IMHO

Great Shots Eddie. Tell me why is it when I arrive at a sporting fixture, as soon as I get my camera out all the action then takes place down the other end.

Very nice, Eddie! These are definitely very nice action shots! I agree with the others; #3 is the best of the series because of the emotion that is absent in the other shots. I think it probably would have been better had the referee not been there, though - he's not really in focus or anything and he's not part of the actual action. Had he not been there, you could have filled the frame up with the action. But of course, referees have a way of getting in the way of shots that seems to defy explanation. :rolleyes:

Overall an excellent sports series! Great job! :D

Exellent action series Eddie.

Great action shots Eddie. My sons are SO jealous that you were actually in the same 'room' as him.

Thanks for the nice comments and feedback everyone.

Tenny,

I am traveling on business at the moment and do not have the pictures on my lap top. When I get back, I will post the EXIF data.

Tenny,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. The settings I used were:
Shutter speed: 1/160 - 1/200
Aperture: f/4.5 - 4.8
ISO - 1600
Focal Length was between 105mm - 120mm
No flash used

Looking back, I should have increased the shutter speed a bit more, but I would have needed to boost the ISO to compensate, which likely would have produced some more noise. I am looking to get a new lens (Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8) and I'd love to take that thing in there and do it again. Perhaps next season...

Thank you Eddie for the info, I hope I can make the indoor sport's pictures as good as you do. I'm sorry that I've just read your message today. I was busy moving back home in earlier of June, and couldn't get enough time to be online in the forum. :(

Again, thank you for your kind attention Eddy.

Tenny :)
