The Sharpe Image

Aug. 15, 2010 Favorites from the 2010 NBA Season Part 2

by Sam Sharpe on Jul.09, 2010, under NBA

Here are some more of my favorite images from the 2009/2010. Like I said in an earlier Post, what I wild Season this was!I was so glad to see the Bobcats make the Play-Offs.  I think that they are a better Team that what they get credit for, and with Michael Jordan now at the helm as far as ownership, I expect really good things from them in the future.  All these images were shot with my D300.  I will most likely use this camera as well as a D700 for this season.  It all starts Oct. 29, and I am ready to be back courtside.

I just thought that this next shoot was way cool.  Chris Anderson was just stumped by how good the Bobcats were playing………he really did not know what to make of it all.

In this next shot, Shannon Brown ran right into the Bobcats defense.  The look of surprise on his face was priceless as he was surrounded by Bobcats!

I took this Portrait of Gerald Wallace during pregame.  I thought that it was a nice shot…..maybe something that could be used as a feature.

I was real lucky to capture this next shot of Ron Artest.  I had a big lens camera up, and I just got real lucky.  I really liked the intensity and aggression on his face.

I think that this next image really shows how determined Gerald Wallace (3) was to stay in the Play-Offs.  It did not matter how hard Orlando defended him, he would not quit.
