Pierce over Lebron: This season's greatest man-to-man rivalry, Paul Pierce and Lebron James by TimDD.
Season opener: after the banner was raised, the Celtics got to work on the Cavaliers and the unbelievable LeBron James. Here's Paul Pierce shooting just over the hand of James.

Wow! Fantastic shot!! I've been a Celtics fan all the way back to John Havlicek. I'm a big LSU fan, too, and I was glad to see Big Baby Davis get some playing time.

Cool!
What camera did you shoot this with? I didn't know you were allowed to take cameras into these games.

Chris: Thanks. I carried my D2X in with my 85mm f/1.4... but I have gotten in with my 70-200mm f/2.8 in the past. I dress for work (business casual) so I'm not confused with a pro trying to sneak in...

Last year I got a picture of Kobe shooting over Kendrick Perkins which has been a huge view magnet. I painstakingly cut the players out of the original shot, to highlight them and darken the fans, the refs, etc. This was a similar objective but I used the extract filter instead (Doh!) which made the job considerably easier. I textured the players up a bit using Topaz, and took the contrast and brightness on the rest of the scene down with adjustment layers.

Thanks again!

Nice shot! I'm looking at the older & cheaper Nikkor 80-200 f/2.8 - do you have any experience with it?
