June 17


Got a chance to snap some sports photography! What I've realized is that action photography is
quite hard, you've pretty much got to be at the right place, right time, right lens, right focus,
and have lots of films/memory cards. For example I took 52 images for this basketball session,
this shot was #2, so I'm thinking, ok, it's not so tough taking basketball images, but the rest of the
50 images were pretty crummy. But the best place for basketball photography is right underneathe
the basket for sure! That's where you can snap the player's face without much of their arms, hands
in the way! Got lucky with this shot, as Ethan was heading to the basket ahead of the pack, but better
focus on his face would've improve the image. Maybe I ought to try the 85/1.8, or the 50/1.4 next time.
