More Women's Basketball Overheads

Here are some more overhead shots from the Women’s Basketball game last night versus Monmouth. It’s a fun angle to shoot from. I’ve found that I get great shots if I overexpose a little bit and focus SLIGHTLY below the rim. I usually autofocus on the rim, then use live view, zoomed in 10x to focus it a tad bit underneath. It would help to have someone down there to focus on, but usually, there isn’t time for that. The 5D Mark II really makes things so much easier, with it’s high res screen and live view for cosuing, high resolution 21mp files for cropping, and clarity at ISO 3200. My only complaint is its low framerate because I sometimes miss key moments.

They all scrambled for the ball at one point toward the end of the game.
