This morning I took some time to just sit back and practice a bit of photography. Basketball (which I don’t understand, or play). This is something I really ought to do more often, just take photos with an eye to getting shots I wouldn’t usually try for. I switched to black and white and was mostly shooting with a fairly wide angle, which is not something typically associated with sports. But basketball lends itself to a wide frame of view. There’s a lot of context to take in. There’s also something rhythmic with basketball, I find. Whistles, stops and starts, ever bouncing back and forth, it’s all weirdly ritualistic. Good practice.
