INDOOR SPORTS SHOTS


Here are the details for this shot. I got the best lens I could find and while the light in the gym appeared ok to the eye it was horrible for the camera. I was scared to go with a higher ISO but that may be what was needed. Can someone look at my gallery and tell me what I did wrong

Jon Close 		  It looks a little warm, but not too far off. Auto White Balance is not infallible. Try setting the Custom White Balance when in gyms, which I think typically use sodium vapor or halogen lights which are different from typical tungsten incandescents or fluorescents.
