First attempts at sports photos

2025-06-13

Lately, my college life has become a bit richer thanks to more exercise. After winter break, I started inviting my friends to play badminton with me. Although I’ve played before, I hadn’t done it as often as I have recently. On most weekends, we’re at the courts for hours. This happened to coincide with the annual volleyball tournament, so sometimes I even showed up early in the morning to support my friends. I always bring my camera along, hoping to capture some great shots of them in action. Taking sports photos is definitely a real challenge—you have to be quick, precise, and confident when pressing the shutter to get a good shot. If you hesitate even for a second, the ball might already be on the other side of the court! But since so many of us were taking pictures at once, the scene looked pretty funny—we were all standing around with our backs to the game, and my friend couldn’t stop laughing as he got ready to serve.
