"as soon as I make this shot, I really gotta go pee!"
"Have you ever heard of deodorant?!?!?"
I was thinking deodorant at first, but stanton's comment inspired me instead...
"Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now!"
Yikes!!
OK say something else about my glasses
Great shot dude
Tom, did you see my comments about shooting basketball over on my blog? I'd be interested in the technical stuff here. Is this available light? What ISO and shutter speed was this?
Rick,
I went and took a look & that is a nice shot. When I first came to Charleston the folks at the Civic Center thought I was nuts when I came down the day before to set up Norman strobes in the cat walks. Now you can''t even use a flash on camera thanks to the SSAC. But I am about to go off on a rant so let me get back on track. For me sharing is what makes photography so wonderful. I shoot on manual at a shutter speed of 400, asa 800. I purposely underexpose 1 stop. In Photoshop I first sharpen 60/20 and leave threshold blank or on 0. I then do an overall brightness/contrast. Then I crop. Now most gurus will dispute this and tell ya that you will get better resullts doing this as the last steps, not so. I then correct the color slightly altho I try to that in camera but with different outputs from the lights above you get shifts on the court so this is needed. Just a side note here rather than use a white balance I use a grey card on location. And last I use noise ninja only very slightly along with smart blur, again very slighty. And with the history brush I go in and localize areas that have pulled apart....or picked up noise. I have a hot key I call start to finish that sometimes does it all, but it doesn't work on all images.
Wow... a 400th/sec?? I was using ISO800 at 1/50th sec in the Field House and it still needed to be lightened up some. I could have drastically increased my sharp shots if I had gone to ISO1600 or 3200 but I was really afraid of just getting mushy grainy crap. I think I made a bad decision. I think I'll try to get in the Civic Center for the tourney and see what I can get under the better lighting.
Someone beat me to it, but the first thing I thought was "Oh, I gotta' pee so bad!"
