Basketball!!!
Been meaning to put this up for a week, but kept procrastinating. It's BASKETBALL AT SPORTSBARN.
For the past couple of months or so, we've been playing basketball about twice a week. A pretty nice group, this - competitive, yet sporting enough to have fun.
On this particular occasion, I couldn't make it (sis' birthday) but could catch the tail end of it. Decided to pack my camera along.
It's bloody hard to shoot inside with Charles in the middle -- one minute you're open, and then this really long arm descends from the heavens and gently whacks the ball out of your hands.
The thing about playing basketball is that - unless you've got a film crew following you around, chances are you have no idea what you look like while you're playing (i.e. whether you look cool or awkward).
I guess the best part about all this is that it's also good for your health. Exercise is good. Yes it is. Yes. Right.
I took this shot with a slow shutter speed and tracked the camera on Nigel - this allows me to keep Nigel relatively sharp while blurring out the background. And yes, this looks better on film than it does in real life. (P.S: Don't burn my house down. Please.)
After the game, we're all hot and sweaty from all that action. Erm... yeah. And thirsty too.
Right. Next picture:
Thus ends the photo essay. I'm sleepy and hungry. And you should be too.
