Our town's girls' basketball team played for the State Championship today. They lost 55-53 in a heartbreaker: after leading for most of the game, they started to flag towards the end. The other team put in the winning basket with just 4 seconds to go. I didn't crop this photo much because I wanted to capture the whole experience of being a championship game, not just the action on the court. Radial Spin seems to add the feeling of highly charged emotion and excitement to the picture.
I really like your take on this photo, Bobbie! Its a very dynamic result. What a devastating loss that must have been for the girls. But quite an accomplishment to get that far...
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
