Steve Gallow - A Year in Photos

With this blog I have begun a journey to improve my photography skills. My goal is to take photos everyday, and post my favorite photo from that day on this blog. So far, I have learned a lot, and try to share my experiences. Many of you have made comments on the blog, via email, or when you see me in person. I really appreciate all of them. I learn a lot from each of you. I hope that you will join me in my journey, and help me along the way. I have so much to learn.

Week 36, Day 257, January 5, 2009, Anticipation

This is kind of an atypical basketball photograph, but I really liked it. In this photo the ball is missing, but everybody's focus is on the ball. I like the difference.

Lessons Learned:

I spent a lot more time tonight when there was an interaction on the floor. Typically in the past I would focus more on the shooting. I think the interaction between players on the floor can create some spectacular photos.

Photo details: Exposure time 1/200 sec, Aperture f/2.8, ISO 1600, Focal Length 70 mm, Lens Canon 70-200mm f2.8L USM, hand held.
