If I could have been there to work behind you, I would have been a very happy man. You definitely have sports down. The airshots are the greatest and the fallout behind the players is intense, so is the side lighting, which encapsulates the players arms, leaving a nice shadow in the middle. Anytime you want an extra hand I'll be there for you. Wow, man, these shots blow me away. If I could have been there to work behind you, I would have been a very happy man.

If you were to shoot at this ISO with NO strobes firing the scene would be pitch black. The ambient, even with lights on in the gym, is not enough to be seen by the camera at such a low ISO. So, as you can see in his setup shots that door in the background is pretty far back and with the side lights firing they aren't aimed at the door so no light is hitting the door with enough power to be seen by the camera, thus causing it to go black. The ones with light on the door are more than likely lit with that other ringlight hanging down on the side... Good stuff Dustin, hope to meet you down the road.. if you are ever in Phoenix with Rebilas come to a D-backs game and i'll show you my digs there... Jon Willey jonwilley.com Jon Zach and others,
