I used Photoshop to brighten a bit, but I am pleased at my first outing. The rest of the shots are at http://timcallow.smugmug.com/gallery/4137476#241445311 if you want to peruse. I took shots with manual settings at both 500-640, with f/1.8, and ISO at 1000 and 1250, which is why some of the shots may look a little dirty. I'm going to try to dial down the ISO for some cleaner shots next time. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I took most of the shots from the baseline, although the cheerleader shots are from the stands. All of the closeup shots are cropped. Also some of the cheerleader shots were taken at about 6 feet with automatic and flash on.

Shooting basketball indoors
I knew that I would have some problems taking photos during a basketball game, because of the low light and high speed shutter required. I had been reading the blogs and forums and gaining a better understanding on shutter speed, aperture, ISO and such. I decided to go the cheap route and get a canon EF 50mm F/1.8 II lens from amazon, only $85 with shipping. http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Cameras-50mm-Lens-2514A002/dp/B000OQ1WRU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1199917890&sr=1-2
I used it at a very low light basketball game yesterday. I had a good time and took over 150 shots. Here is one shot.
