Women athlete of a ball game, a photo from 東京, 関東

Photographer's Note

A basketball is a game using the ball devised in the United States in 1891. A game rule is a sport which competes for a score by letting a ball pass from the upper part to the ring which is installed on the coat of a partner team. Two teams of five five-person pairs treated one ball by hand, scrambled for it. Compared with volleyball which is an alike ball game, the basketball player runs about the inside of a coat and there is a feeling of a lively motion as there is no threshold of the net which divides a team. This photograph is taken from a game of a business team, and I photographed targeting the moment which the player releases a shot to a ring.

Hello Mikio,
A very fine action shot with excellent use of exposure settings to freeze the movement at a critical moment in time.
The contrasting team colours add extra drama to fine photograph.
Regards Les.

Hi Mikio
Well caught & well lightened! I like the contrast in colours against the background. Excellent, full of action shot and the noise in the image adds to all of this. But I love the sharp in focus of the two players on the right as prime target of your lens. Great timely captured, Congrats
Best regards
