|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board A good mistake Robby Gallagher, Photographer, Student/Intern Brookings | SD | USA | Posted: 2:40 PM on 04.07.10 ->> I took this basketball photo a couple of weeks and ago and was a little on edge because it did not turn out the way I had hoped for it to. I focused in on the foreground rather than the background. Have you ever had this happen? Did you still like the photo? I actually ended up liking the photo and used it for a more artistic photo. Check it out, www.robbygphotography.weebly.com. Look in my sports portfolio and it is the one with jersey #1. Let me know what you think. If you still have your photos like that post it. Thanks!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

This was one of the first shots before I realized my mistake. On the LCD, it looked blurry, but on the monitor, it looked somewhat planned.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It just looks like you missed with the autofocus. I wouldn't put this in a portfolio because it just looks like a mistake and you don't want people to look at your portfolio and think you're a guy who makes mistakes. Using the cutline to talk about the guy with his back to you doesn't save the photo for a number of reasons. For one thing, it's obvious that you were trying to shoot the action but weren't in tight enough to avoid the guy stepping in front of you. It happens to everybody who shoots basketball. I would pull this from your portfolio asap and keep shooting. You'll get better basketball stuff as you continue to practice.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Basically, the back of one of the players was in focus and the action wasn't.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
