Strobe Basketball

I hope some of you Final Frame readers are taking a look at our high school basketball slide shows (like these) .You might notice that a lot of the high school games are lit with strobe. Here’s a photo from Henry Clay vs. Scott County showing just how much area two small Nikon SB strobes can cover AT HALF POWER! I usually put each strobe (you can see one at right) on a handrail on both sides of the baseline, using a Pocket Wizard to trigger them. Many times there are other photogs using on-camera strobes that could trigger a conventional electric eye “slave”, so we use the Pocket Wizard radio slaves. –Dave Perry

Tech info: 16mm lens, Nikon D2H, 400 ISO, f 3.2, 1/250 second.
