Unfortunately I do not know what happened next. Did he land on his feet? Did he pass the ball before he went down? All a mystery. But I was thrilled when I saw this capture!

This was from one of my first outings with the new 5DMIII (with 24-70F2.8L), sitting directly under the basket. No flash used. (1/1000s, ISO:8000).

Exif: F Number: 2.8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/1000 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 8000, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 55.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark III

Great job w/this capture as shooting action under the GYM lights does not always work out so well .

Your enjoying the NEW TOY ;O)

Wonderful action shot, Michelle! Great detail and expression. You mean you really didn't remember what happened next? You weren't the statistician as well? Great job! #10515500

Great capture Michelle, looks like your putting your new camera through it paces. How do you like the new camera, did you buy the new 24-70F2.8 to go with it. #10517215

You are really excelling with your new toy, Michelle! This is a fabulous, fabulous basketball action capture - you caught him perfectly in mid air and I just love the expression on his face! Nice work! Unfortunately, we no longer have season BB tickets, and when we did, they were certainly NOT under the basket! #10520730
