Well, guess with the Beijing Olympics over, images from behind the scenes are now floating about the internet. I find them fascinating on how the behind the scenes work. The amount of photographers amaze me. But also the lengths photographers have gone to get the images. Enjoy.

On the 12th August 2008. I was awarded the Seabl South Mens conference best action photograph. This was the first full year that I have done basketball photography for the Seabl season.
Winning the award was a acculmunation of two years of photographing basketball.
I started originally photographing my nephew playing basketball, then Big V and Seabl. Then in the off season photographing NBL.
When it came back to the Seabl season, I the lessons I learnt from the nbl season, gave me a great insight, and advantage on how to photograph. e.g. angles, position to place myself etc.
One of the difference that took me a few weeks to wake up to was that larger stadiums have great lighting, where else smaller regional/local stadiums do not. It became apparent to create a great image, I would have to ramp up my iso settings, or use flash fill into the image. I choose the later, why? This was due to the camera I was using. The 1d mark one, is a good sports camera, but once over iso 800, the amount of grain thats in the image makes it literally worthless to print in a newspaper. Remember a newspaper only prints at 72dpi, on some sort of recycled paper. Also note that this is not bright daylight, but a dark, and dingy sports stadium.
I will continue about howto photograph basketball in another article.
