Hoops!

I went to a high school basketball game tonight to take pictures of Mr. 23.  I just wanted some fun, yet challenging, photography practice.  I took 70 shots altogether and narrowed it down to 7 for my blog.  I really like this shot, especially the facial expressions of the other players.  I just wish I could have gotten the rest of his arm and the ball in the shot.

I really like this one too. Maybe because he is looking at the camera.

This was an attempt at a panning shot, but it got pretty blurry. I still really like it though. You really feel like he is running fast with those blurred feet.

Air Time!

This is the only one where I got him and the ball in the same shot.  Not an easy thing to do!

I love the look on his face in this shot.

This one interests me because of the looks on the faces of all the people lined up behind him.

I decided not to use my flash, so I eventually had to kick the ISO up to 3200 in order to stop some of the action. 3200 is super grainy, so there is a trade-off. Makes me wonder what flash would have looked like.

This was just for fun though, so I don't really care. Not the kind of photography I would like to do all the time, but nice for a change of pace.
