For this Exploring the Ordinary I shot a Basketball. I’m not much of a sports fan really – only a couple of things I’ll actually sit down and watch, but basketball isn’t one of them. I don’t even own a basketball – this one was borrowed. I just decided to use it for this feature since I was photographing it for an ad I’m putting together for a basketball tournament at the school where my husband teaches. It was definitely more difficult to shoot than I first anticipated (and I didn’t think it’d be a breeze!). I actually ended up taking nearly 100 images before I felt I had enough good ones to choose between. Thank goodness for digital!! Anyway, I had so many I figured there were bound to be enough for this week’s feature. Let me know which is your favorite at the end. Who knows? Maybe you’ll see it in my Etsy shop someday!
i think 1, 6, and 7 are really great! i voted for #1 because it just pops out at you! when looking at it, you know exactly what it is, even though it's shot in an abstract way.
by the way, congrats on the job of doing an ad for the school! hopefully this opens some doors for you :)
Thanks so much Andrea – I'm hoping the AD brings in some local customers too! :)
Great shots! I like #4 best!
