lukas_jenkins Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Tomorrow I will be photographing the final play off game of a high school basketball league. I am going to be focused on a specific team and they asked me if they win to take a group picture of the team with their trophy I presume. I will be using a 50mm f/1.8 to shoot the game (I have a 70-200mm f/2.8 but from my experiences most gyms are to dark to use it, even at ISO 1600 with out flash. Anyway I have a 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 and a 12-24mm f/4 for wider lenses. Which one of these lenses would be optimal to use? I'll be using flash with a Gary Fong LightSphere PJ II and lens at around f/5.6 at ISO 400. Thanks, Lukas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_s___hampton_roads_va Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 using flash, I'd go with the 18-70... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoneguy Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 If your asking what lens to use for the team pic? I would use the 70-200L, or the 50 1.8 Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_leck Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 How big is the team? Where will you shoot, on the court? How far back can you get? How powerful is your flash? What's the ambient light like? I'd go the 18-70mm at f/8 from about 8' as my first guess. Make sure to take at least 5-10 images and direct and pose them.
