[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 591883, member: 3903"] You also need a wider aperture lens. If you could get your hands on a pre-owned 85 1.8 you'd be a lot better. The lens you are using now is forcing you to go up a bit high with iso so it's less and less forgiving. You can also try to ease down the shutter speed. It then boils down to knowing exactly when to press the shutter button. Every sport has it's frozen moment. For basketball, I suspect it's right when the player gets to the summit of his jump just before the ball leaves his hands. I'm sure that with practice you'll eventually get the results you are after. But beware, if you are trying to get "Sports Illustrated" kind of images, you'll have to spend a bit of money on lenses and practice a lot more. A lot of pros use remote flash system to get the results you see in sports magazines. But the only way to find out how hard it is to work in some situations is when you try it for yourself. Practice makes perfect. [/QUOTE]
