I’m trying out linking to an off-site bananalbum gallery for posts with superfluous amounts of photos (Thumbnail galleries are too much work to thumb through). Click on either image below for a full gallery of basketball.

Normally when I shoot, I always keep in mind what’s going on in the environment of my subjects. But usually when I shoot big time sports, I forget that things in the periphery (ie – fans, referees,  other players roaming the court, etc) can be distracting, extra information that is a little less important amidst all of the action. Hence, I’m usually sort of loose when I crop. This time, however, I tried to crop with more focus — that is, super tight — with this batch of photos I just processed. Hopefully it’s better.
