[Leica] IMG: some basketball photos

[Nathan Wajsman]

Great action shots! And I agree, they work well in B&W.

Many years ago, in the late 1980s, I got this photo at a high school basketball game in Florida:

Dumb luck in a way, at least the fact that both players have the same number.

As for converting to B&W, I also tried shooting RAW+JPEG recently to get the JPEG in B&W. Like you, I ended up choosing to convert the RAW files to B&W instead of using the JPEG. The JPEGs were visibly inferior to the RAW.

Cheers,
Nathan
