Towards the hoop
Towards the hoop, camera: Lumix GH1
I do not play basketball as often as this blog suggests and I never really tried to do sports photography, but that’s somehow how this blog is developing. They have this strange basketball court near the place where a friend of mine lives. Rock solid steel grid basketball board. Ball bounces of it like a brick, one just can’t get the right feeling when shooting at such a thing.
Anyway, I have grown so fond of my Panasonic Lumix GH1 that I am carrying it with myself all the time. It is not really a pocket camera, more like rucksack camera, so that is how we now go.
I set the Lumix GH1 into the shutter priority, combined with high speed Burst mode, which is bit more than 3 fps, and fired away, while my friend was shooting. With Lumix GH1 it is important to have Auto-Focus set on continuous when doing moving objects, because it means that it will continue keeping the image sharp even while exposure is taken.
