It’s great the basketball season is here. It was a pretty low key game; not a lot of people in the gym, mostly parents. Glad we could open together with a girls game.
My basketball photography has gotten pretty boring lately. Just a lot of standard low shots from the baseline. Then of course the dibble-drive down the lane. The obligatory shot of the coach yelling. The occasional lay-up shot, sometimes a dunk.
So I thought this would be a good opportunity early in the season to go off script and experiment a little. I took fewer shots and looked for different shots and places to shoot from.
I only took 459 photos, many fewer than the normal 1,200 or so. I only picked out 17 to process and only published 12.
I hope Coach Zarymbski is not to mad about the photo of her with the stern look on her face. But it’s too good not to not to publish. Good evidence though that it’s probably best not to get on her bad side.
I also really like the shot with the shiny gym floor with the girls scrambling for the ball. Hopefully, the photos are better than my usual ones and I can work on new shots for upcoming season.
