title recommendations welcome! The guy 3rd from left is 6 ft 5 inches so that will give you an impression of scale. I fired off an SB80 flash (less one stop) to freeze the action. B&W in PS because the lighting is a horrible orangey/yellow and no amount of work can change it!
Irish basketball, who would have thought -- actually, of course. Cool action shot of the instant before the slam-a-ram. The best basketball photo I have ever seen is of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of the LA Lakers on the baseline to the right of the opposing basket (Houston Rockets), at full extension in the middle of his famous sky hook, his hand and the ball being about a foot over the rim. The thing was, he was being guarded by Ralph Sampson of the Houston Rockets, who at 7 foot 4 was big enough, and leapy enough, that he had managed to extend and get his hand on Jabbar's shot for a perfect, clean block -- this was the instant the photographer caught. The look of chagrin on Jabbar's face is priceless! Rgds, Svend
