Sport through the lens

Basketball Euroleague 2009/10 is long underway when I finally decided to write few things about it. Yesterday’s match between Union Olimpija and Maccabi Electra was only third or fourth match I was shooting this season.

And based on Union Olimpija results, it will be also one of last matches I was shooting. There’s no interest among ourclients for matches of Slovenian or NLB regional league, so there’s not much point of anyone of us going to those matches. So Euroleague are lately only basketball matches we are covering.

I don’t really like shooting basketball, since there’s not much chances for some, at least a bit, different photos. Especially not this year, when we are all limited to about 10 extremely uncomfortable and way way too low seats on each side of a playing field. So we are all stuck together and you can imagine all our photos look pretty much same.
But it’s just another part of a job. A job which has it’s bright and a bit darker sides. And this one is definitelly not really bright one. But it’s still not all that bad :)
