A Common Goal

I captured this shot during a basketball activity in Barangay Pugadlawin, Las Piñas City. It was a really close game, with the two opposing teams racking up points in the 3-point line during the 4th quarter, and with one team only winning by one point. I was really unprepared both technique and equipment-wise for this kind of shooting; it was my first time doing basketball photography, and yes, I've been hit by the ball for two times in a row, haha. Nevertheless, it was a really nice and thrilling experience, especially if you could connect the thrill of taking the shot with the thrill of witnessing a really close game.
