Basketball Practice

Don't be fooled by the T-Shirts, the temperature at Arnot Hill Park (The Duck Park), Arnold, was hovering just above zero degrees yesterday

I asked these two youths if it was OK to photograph them, shot with my Sony A7, 35mm Loxia (manual lens) and my Whippet whippet puppy Elsie in the other hand

Turned out OK

All the people
So many people
And they all go hand-in-hand
Hand-in-hand through their parklife
Know what I mean? (Blur , circa 1994)
Makes you feel cold just looking at them! I picked 2 of my grandchildren up from school today & there was a girl wearing a summer dress with bare arms - I snuggled into my coat as I looked at her!

@carole_sandford snuggled into your coat, quite right too Carole :)

Great coat. Kids just don’t feel the cold when they are running around!

Good to see young people enjoying their sport. There should be more facilities like this on street corners. What a great action shot with both of them having their feet off the ground

They don't feel the cold at that age!!

Great action shot, and yes, I was wondering if you were in a land of warm sunshine and t-shirts!

Nicely caught in action.

Levitation is obviously the skill to perfect in order to master basketball!

Very beautiful shot and great timing. The boy in blue looks very much like Max, my grandson. You managed a splendid shot with just one hand. Elsie must have been a good girl for not pulling at the leash while you were taking the photo.

Impressive shot while holding your dog! Great stopped action!
January 20th, 2023  
Great capture

Good fun and good exercise! I like how you caught them mid throw. Fav.
