Location
I took the photograph of Irvington High School (Irvington, New Jersey) Varsity Basketball player Khari Thompson at a regular season game against Seton Hall Prep, held at the Castle, home of the IHS Blue Knights.Time
The time of day was about 4pm Eastern in the afternoon. The time of the seasoned gamesLighting
The photograph of Khari Thompson was shot with natural light.Equipment
I used the Canon 70D, Tamron 28-300mm/f3.5-5.6. No flash. No tripod.Inspiration
I was inspired to take this photo by my love for action sports photography. I wanted a good action shot. And Khari was on several occasions driving to the basket. I captured him on a good drive. The photograph shows actionEditing
Yes, I did post processing. I used Adobe Photshop to cut out Khari Thompson from the background of the photograph. I next added the cut out to a layout, which added the magazine covering.In my camera bag
I have upgraded my photography gear. I still have the Canon EOS 70D camera, but I've updated to the Canon EF 70-200mm/f2.8, along with the Sigma 24-70mm/f2.8, and the Tamron 17-50mm/f2.8. The Tamron 17-50mm/f2.8 is a nice wide lens that works well close up.Feedback
My advide for others trying to capture something similar is to make sure that U have a fast enough ISO, Aperture, and Shutter to capture low light with good results. Otherwise, you will be disappointed.
