Basketball shots w/ new lense...

I've been waiting on this lense to come b/c I know I can capture good shots with it... so off to J's ballgame lastnight excited to use it. I get in the gym and b/c it was being played in an elementary school I should've gotten the hint that the gym would be smaller than the normal Jr. High gyms we've been playing in... well I didn't get that hint and drove on down to the gym with this ONLY lense on me....
I get into this gym and we are literally sitting with our knees right at the court line... some of you might think that this is the best position to be in when shooting sports- well it is if you don't have the only lense I had with me. It was the 85mm lense. I TOTALLY needed my 50mm for this gym but NO I was so excited to be able to get to use this new lense. Well, I could only capture shots close up and none of the team in action so here is what I caught. These are grainy b/c I did bump up my ISO. I can tell it's going to be a great lense once I can use it in a Jr. High gym...one to where I am UP ON BLEACHERS with enough distance b/t me and the game! The kids both have games Wed night so I'll get another opportunity to use the lense... I'll be carrying BOTH the 85 and the 50 this time. Enjoy.
