A friend of mine has asked me to take some photograph of the basketball team he plays for. They want to update the website and get some action shots from a game. I'll be using my 350D with either the kit lens or my friends Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM.

What tips should I follow to get the best possible shots? It will be an indoor event with the typical overhead lighting etc.

Any help and advice is really appreciated as I think it will be a great learning experience for me :)
 
The venue is newly built so should 'hopefully' have good lighting. I've only got the two lenses listed at my disposal as its a favour for a friend, so hiring a 2.8 wouldnt really be an option at this stage.

I'll get some info on the venue and report back :)
 
Thanks for the tips guys :)

I'll get the results posted as soon as I've been. Just waiting for a date of the shoot, which I'm guessing will be within the next two weeks!
 
I'm just waiting for my mate to get back to me with a date. Should be within the next two weeks :)

Thanks for all the info guys. Hopefully if I use all of my memory the law of averages say I should get a couple of half decent shots lol.
