Here are some of my favorite shots from the BCA in Vegas this past weekend.

Could please explain your camera settings. These are nice pics. isa,speed,aperature??? Lens focal length.
 
That lucky pic of the break, right at impact is cool! You could take 1000 pictures of the break and never time it just right, I bet. How cool is that!

Great pics!

Makes you wonder if the ball is on the way up or on the way down. Great picture!!
 
Nice pictures, I love the shot of the cue right before it hits the rack... TEACH ME HOW YOU DID THAT?! lol.. what's your shutter speed? :confused:
 
Actually you could do it easily every time with a sound activated shutter. We did just that a few weeks ago when it was the national "Take your child to work day". Had a camera set up with a sound activated shutter and gave the kids a ballon to break. Some priceless expressions.

I used a Nikon D80 with a Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VR lens on a Manfrotto monopod. Shutter was 1/250 f/2.8 ISO 800. I usually shoot 1/30-1/80 for most shots. That is why the break shot is so dark

I focus the camera on the rack and look at the breaker with my other eye, when it looks like he starts his swing I just hold the shutter release down and hope. Sometimes it works out.

The hard part is shooting in low light, during the tournament, no set ups and no studio gear. Makes things a lot more interesting.

The hot set up for this stuff is the big daddy Canon pro body and a fast lens. You can shoot ISO 3200 and it still looks like a picture. If I shoot over 1250 it looks like a snow storm. I'm just not ready to drop another $6k-$8K though :D

I am playing with shooting RAW and some noise reduction programs to see if I can improve the low light performance. RAW is cool but it adds a ton of work processing the images.
