Shadow Play

Brothers Elijahwon, left, and Tay Guyn watch the shadows of players in a pick up game of basketball on a set of courts off Cooper Drive in Lexington on Monday, July 24. 1/500th, f/9, 200 ASA, Canon 30D, 16-35 f2.8.

Sometimes we’re asked to find a good photo that can “stand alone” without a story. Late in the day today, I needed to come up with a photo to take the place of one of our centerpiece stories which fell through at the last minute.

I had another assignment at the 5/3 Tennis Championships which are right next door to these basketball courts. I’ve driven by these courts countless times and always thought there was potential for a good photo. The light was good when I showed up, but I waited a couple of hours and it just got better as the sun began to set.
