I've shot hundreds of high school and a handful of college basketball games
from right under the goal firing a T-45 on a Turbo-Z with a motor drive. When I
first
started, I asked players, coaches, and referees whether the flash was a
problem. They said they never noticed the flash - they were too wrapped up in
the
game. And for big games, I've stood shoulder to shoulder with other
photographers blasting flash whenever the action was near. Never a complaint.
The
players don't notice.
