HELP! Best Lens/Light/Settings for Basketball? (Canon Rebel XT) in Sports Posted November 30, 2006 Hi all- My niece is playing high school basketball-I needed some advice for my photos. I'm great with stills, having had plenty of time to play with lighting etc. however I'm just starting out with sports photography. I have a Canon Digital Rebel XT, and I needed some help with selecting A) a lens, B) flash (as recommended)/other lighting (on average, I'm about 10-15 feet away when shooting) and C) Settings+technique for best capturing her in action. I'm a bit of a procrastinator; her first game of the season is tomorrow! *eek* Obviously, my main lighting is (terrible) high school gym fluorescents, and my subject is in motion almost continually. I did alright with standard settings for volleyball season, but basketball moves MUCH faster, and I need HELP!
