 Well it was the MK4Y festival this weekend and the local basketball team the MK Lions were doing dome sessions with youngsters

I went and asked if I could take some shots and they were really good about it. A very nice bunch of people. To be honest my output didnt really do them justice, though I have got a couple of nice shots which didn't fit the challenge but which they may use on their website (mklions.com)

Just as I was leaving they were playing some one on one, big uns v little uns and this occured which was just great

Amazing capture of the ball just barely lifting from the player's finger tips. Wonderful!

Without the title I may not have totally gotten this. This is a great catch tho and does give you something to think about.

The scene here is so busy. I like the idea though and think desire and ability are definately dichotomous.

I was slam-dunking once myself. Then the alarm clock rang.
Nice candid snap. Some PP would help on the ball.

i don't know what the rest of the surroundings were like, but the van is bugging me!
I think it's because it gives the image a snapshot feel to it?
