U of Washington basketball

I had my first chance to shoot a basketball game, it was a blast. I only tried a couple angles, I had a hard time figuring out where on the baseline I liked to shoot from as well. I didn't have a 300mm prime which would have been nice and given me a chance to shoot form the corners as well. Comments/criticism appreciated.

Nice job, Eric. I've spent some time up on the catwalk this fall shooting hoops and volleyball. It a fun, though slightly harrowing experience. I hope you removed all your loose items before going out there!

Because the window is so small around the hoop when bending over the railing, it's tough to capture good action. I think I prefer the first Gaddy layup. I also like the image of CJ shooting a jumper with the defender in his face.

The banding issue is kinda scary. Last time I saw something like that was on my first Canon body several years ago. Sounds like you definitely need to test a different card, because if that's not the problem, Nikon had better fix it!

Im using a d700 off and on and no issues here. I have been using high speed Sandisk cards but didnt see an issue with even a cheap Kingston card. Nice shots btw.
