Hoops time again. For me anyway, since I was on vacation last weekend.

I enjoy shooting basketball. Lots of action, and possibilities.

Those moments in basketball frozen in time look cool, too. It’s like strange sculpture. Wild expressions, bodies flying. Makes for good stuff.

The photogs all huddle on the baseline, crammed up against those tables set up by the basket. We get run over by sweaty players, stepped on by refs. A good time indeed.

I like to shoot with a 50mm under the basket. Some might say it’s a little loose, but I personally prefer that feel in basketball. I’ll use a 70-200 or a 300 for stuff on the far side of the court.

It’s still early in the season, and I’m looking forward to seeing what lies ahead.
