[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 106679, member: 3903"] I think that part of your problem is your auto-focus setting. "AF-A" could make the focus on the wrong person or on the crowd behind the play. Try AF-C, one center focus point selected. If it was me, I would even try manual focus, pre-focus on the spot you intend to shoot (under the basket for example) and then not worry about it. But I also suspect that there is just not enough light in that gym to be able to produce good pictures. It does take light to be able to stop motion with the lenses you are using, and basketball is quite a fast sport. Just pointing the camera to the action and clicking away will not get you the "magazine" type shots that you see from the pro basket mags. But don't despair, keep trying and eventually you might just find the recipe for OK shots. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
