I know the lights are of the style that oscillate between pink and green. My question is this: Should I auto white balance or select a specific Kelvin and just go with it? I shoot raw and batch convert to jpg. Thanks in advance, Jon Wright  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The lights cycle too fast for auto WB to work. Check out this earlier thread on the subject: http://www.sportsshooter.com/message_display.html?tid=34303 and from there be sure to click on Guy Rhodes' even earlier thread, which I think is one of the single most informative threads I have ever read on here.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I shot 2.8 at a 500th of a second at 2,000 ISO, Color-balanced in Photoshop Raw and tweaked the Jpgs just before sizing them for web use. This gym is probably the darkest in our area and I was fairly happy with the results. Thanks Curtis!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It doesn't happen often but sometimes I get a yellowish cast to my photos so I setup a special preset in LR that has a different color temperature setting. I'll apply the base basketball preset then quickly go through them and apply the special preset wherever it needs it. Usually 5-10% need it. I like a higher shutter speed so I bumped up the ISO to 4000 and am able to get 1/800 at f2.8. A little extra noise looks better then motion blur of the feet and hands.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
