Daily Snap: Posterized?



Gear: Canon 5D Mark III; Canon 70-200 2.8L
Settings: f/2.8, 1/800th of a second, ISO 8000, 73mm

The story: Nothing quite like a contested high school dunk, right? It usually comes out of nowhere, and is followed by massive roar from the student section and crowd. It tends to becomes a great basketball memory for the season -- "Remember that dunk against Mapleton?"

Well, this one happened at something of an odd angle to me, but I got a great look at the defender's face.

Why I like it: Interesting narrative photo. Face of defender becomes the central point of the image, background becomes a secondary journey: players on the bench below, move from the Crestview (in white) player dunking, then the windows, banner and poster on the walls in the background. Nice moment.
