The Block!

There are key shots in every game. Not just shots the players are taking on the court but also the shots we are taking of the players taking those shots. Sounds confusing, I know.
We are always looking to get the photos of shots that made an impact in the game. Jump shooters have defenders coming at them from all angles. The photographers have referees coming from all directions. Anticipation is a big part of being a good sports photographer. You see a play developing, hopefully you are familiar with certain player’s tendencies, and are ready for whatever comes next. Except for the referee who is running down the baseline trying to get in position to call the play. He is trying to do his job and we are trying to do ours. The two don’t always work out for the best for both parties involved. All you can do is keep shooting, do your job, and get the shot the best you can.
