A little off topic and maybe it's just my eyes playing tricks on me but do the upper parts of shoes normally roll that far out over the soles? An honest question since you rarely ever see a photo of a guy at exactly the moment he plants to take a step back 3 (or whatever mad skillz BB move Skylar is about to make here :p ). I would think that having your foot roll this far out over the sole of the shoe would make the shoe very difficult to run and cut in.

Mostly landscape and portraits, with some sporting events splashed in as I get to it. Just trying to get an idea for application of lenses and which one to buy 1st.

To me, it looks like 100% of the sole is on the ground. Shoes are gonna stretch.

That far? Looks like all of his toes on his right foot are out past the sole. You can even see his big toe is out past the sole on the outside portion of the shoe.

What body are you using? Tough to say which to buy first. The 70-200 is hard to beat for portraiture, and works great for outdoor sports and distance landscape shots. The f/4 of both will likely be too slow for most indoor use. You could always add a fast prime, like a 50 or 85/1.8 for low-light stuff and still be much cheaper than a new 70-200/2.8. Obviously, the 17-40 is a great lens as well, but a little less versatile than the 70-200. You could save more buying used from reputable sites and users on forums.

I've got a cropped body and the 50/1.4, so the effective zoom and wide aperture works great for indoor portraits. Obviously have the kit lens for wider angles, but really want to step up in quality. After using the 50, I almost can't stand using the kit lens. I find myself needing wider angles right now (more opportunity for architecturals), so the 17-40 on a cropped body might be what I need, but that 70-200 is pretty tempting.

Sorry to bring technical photography stuff into the basketball forum, but the pics are great!

Sounds like you have a good plan. Once you upgrade, you'll kick yourself for not ditching that kit lens sooner.:p

And no apology needed... I could talk photography... especially gear... all day long.

My two favorites:

Snow covered Knoxville. Can I use that for my facebook cover photo? That's just perfect.

The Jordan McRae celebrating with the fans.

These were great. Thanks for sharing.

Looks pretty normal to me. These guys are exerting a ton of force from their feet to the ground. I would think that elasticity is necessary, but yeah, looks normal to me.
