Boys' Basketball

The great thing about having brothers and sisters is that when you grow up it will be a good possibility that you will have nieces and nephews!  Yeah, there are a few other good reasons for siblings, but go with me on this one!

Anyway, one of our many nephews is old enough the play in 5th and 6th grade basketball, and he loves it.  He loves it so much that he really wanted his uncle to come and capture some moments for him.  Scott ended up going to watch a tournament game.  The game that Scott photographed was one they won, the next they lost.  :(  

Scott really does like sports photography.  There is a challenge in every sport.  The ability to handle the light, whether it's outside at night on a football field or in a dim gymnasium, can make getting a good shot a bit of work.  The challenge is to catch the action, hopefully getting the important pieces in focus!  (Okay, I'm simplifying it a lot, if you want a detailed description you'll have to talk to Scott!)  Although 5th and 6th graders don't move as fast as CMR varsity basketball players, it is still a great time to practice working on those skills needed for a great shot.

So, here are few of the photographs from our nephews game.  Can you guess which one he is?
