Thanks, John...I wish! Doc, I had to crop these about 50%. ; The seats are about 30 feet from the court. ;
Probably should have set the EV to +0.7. ; +0.3 was too dark. ; Auto-WB did very well here. I am hoping to be able to sit here again for a game. ; They are friend's seats who don't like to go to games during the week so early in the season.
Great shots Scott. ; As this is the only basketball I think people will be able to watch this year, I am sure that they are glad there is college ball to fall back on and fill the void.
