Jazz v Lakers: Game Three, Director's Cut

My edit for game three, a thrilling win for the Jazz with several key plays, tends toward the unusual and the spectacle. The last three shots focus on the three key plays that ended the game: Carlos Boozer’s dunk in the final minute, Kyle Korver reacting to Deron William’s key shot to put the Jazz up for good, and the fans’ reaction to Kobe Bryant’s miss at the buzzer.

Even with good ambient lighting and kick-ass cutting-edge digital cameras, the top outlets (like Sports Illustrated and the NBA) are still using strobes to photograph the NBA playoffs. They’re settling for one shot every 4-5 seconds when they could have ten frames every second. It makes me wonder. But I gotta say, after looking at the photos in my take that their strobes ruined, these shooters have exceptional timing. See you tonight.
