San Francisco Pro-Am Summer Basketball League

August 14, 2009 in Uncategorized


Earlier this summer my friend Connor invited me to watch a basketball game in the city. It was the SF Pro-Am League that consists of a lot of college, D-League, and international players. Needless to say there is a lot of experience, athleticism and skill. Basketball being one of my favorite sports to shoot, I decided to go back and set up a backboard remote.

I started setting it up less than an hour before the game. It was rushed. No gobo. No tape on the focus ring. Didn’t clean the glass. Yeah, it was rushed. But it was a good chance to test out my new D3 and my 14-24mm.

The championship series is best of 3 and its tied at 1’s. Last game is tonight and I’m going to try to get there earlier and setup more properly. Possibly set up a strobe for some better lighting.
