You Got Game?

Taken at the Filipino Basketball Centre game, Al Shaab Club Main Gym, Sharjah. I learned so much in sports photography during the last two Fridays I 'covered' the games. Thanks to some tips of my mentor. Sports is quite difficult to cover, there's a lot of anticipation, you should know who the star players are, not to mention the lenses you are going to need. I took these photos using a Nikkor 50mm F1.8, considering the crop factor I got probably close to 85mm. Prime lens in recommended, you can't use flash during the game. A telephoto zoom will be useful also as long as it has a constant aperture of F2.8, otherwise you won't be able to get a 1/500 stutter speed.
