Unfortunately I do not know what happened next. Did he land on his feet? Did he pass the ball before he went down? All a mystery. But I was thrilled when I saw this capture!

This was from one of my first outings with the new 5DMIII (with 24-70F2.8L), sitting directly under the basket. No flash used. (1/1000s, ISO:8000).

I was out shooting landscapes with my MKlll and was thrilled with the results. You certainly captured the moment in this image. #10517322Rona L. Schwarz January 17, 2013
You are really excelling with your new toy, Michelle! This is a fabulous, fabulous basketball action capture - you caught him perfectly in mid air and I just love the expression on his face! Nice work! Unfortunately, we no longer have season BB tickets, and when we did, they were certainly NOT under the basket! #10520730Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
