Labor day made for some evening rendezvous when I saw this bunch to guys playing Basket Ball so ferociously and with rabid passion. No wonder it was a wonderful opportunity to capitalize on and there you go with the entree to Sports Photography

Potters Park was the venue and I reckon they play there regularly. It was about time to put to test the new 70-200 F2.8 lens (I call it the "The Power House Lens"). Unless the mix of shutter speed and aperture is not good, It was rest assured that I;m going to have Blurred and Out of Focus Shots

Worked on the key elements of Sports Photography which was freezing the motion with a pinch of panning and a nice shallow depth of field. It didn't come easy but with practice the shot eventually turned out to be good and it made for a well scripted entree

Specifications

Shutter Speed: 150-300th of a sec

Aperture: F2.8 to F5

Enjoy the photos!!
