The Game Versus NU And Saturday Traffic

I have a week-long training that starts tomorrow, so I will keep this short. I was able to watch the game yesterday between La Salle and National University. Except for the first quarter, the Green Archers were in control of the game, with a final score of 93-69. Everybody in the team got a chance to play, some of the rookies even contributed major points to the cause.

It's my second attempt at basketball photography, and I can't say that this set is better than my previous try. Traffic was bad (more on that later), but at least I made it just in time. Too bad ringside tickets were sold out, so I had to settle for lower box ones. With that said, I had to use my telephoto lens, and sacrifice by using a maximum aperture of f4, which caused a lot of blurred shots. Plus from my angle, it was harder to compose since heads were popping everywhere, it was such a cropping nightmare. I also had the wrong white balance setting, thank God Photoshop's Auto Levels saved me.

I hope I can try this again soon, and improve on my mistakes. Maybe on Saturday against the University of the Philippines. By the way, please click here to view the whole gallery.

Speaking of traffic, I really hate Saturday traffic. It's often much worse than traffic on a work day. It usually adds an hour to my travel time, thanks to 18-wheeler trucks coming from the port area, add to that families and barkadas going to the mall.
