Shibata Agricultural High School Photography Club  Photography Relay 3:「shoot!」

Title:shoot! We first year students at Shibata Agricultural HS have decided to do a shoot during Basketball Club practice. We were really impressed with the running, throwing and jumping that you can see in basketball, so we decided to turn this into the theme of this photo shoot.

To properly show movements, we used a slow shutter speed. In addition, we tried to focus on not blurring neither the subject nor the background when panning the camera

At first I was blurring the photos because I was holding the camera; however, this improved when I started getting creative with the tripod and unipod.

  The cool thing about basketball is the shooting and dunking of baskets, dribbling and passing, and I continued trying shots of these. However, as my senior taught me, snapping the photos at the right time means you have to withdraw, advance, somehow deciding beforehand the use of space in the composition. Though I tried many things, it continued to be challenging.

For us amateurs with our barely one-year old cameras, our works never seem to even approach those of our seniors. However, we discovered that with a tripod you are no longer simply taking photos–you can actually broaden your ability to express yourself through photography, and this was a great experience.
