April 28
I wish I could tell you I meant for this photo to turn out this way, but that would not be the truth. Typically in my sports photography, I'm trying to stop the action as sharply as possible, not blur it. I get enough unintentional blur as it is from poorly lit gyms and too weak of a flash unit on my camera.
But I think in this photo, the blur works pretty well. My daughter Sarah, the maroon gal in the middle, is mostly stopped and waiting to receive the just thrown basketball from an unseen teammate. Meanwhile, the other players swirl around her playing defense. I think it captures the critical moment of the ball being thrown and the controlled chaos that is basketball. I believe I took the photo in 2005 and it is of a C game between Harrisburg and Sioux Falls Christian.
