I finally got to use my strobes for the last Women’s home game of the season. It was in the Bren Events Center at UCI which also has higher locations to shoot from. One thing that I noticed from shooting up there were the reflections on the floor. From the angle that I was shooting at I could see the reflection of the fans in the stands right behind the court.
