oh my god, that is spectacular!! I'm assuming you used burst mode on your camera to get this...the focus, composition, exposure are just great....so much movement and power here!! Looove it!

I've rarely seen sports photography that has blown me away like this has. This tryptych is absolutely amazing Ciril!
Fantastic tones too, a bit unusual for sports shots (more I have seen were always kept in full colour) but it seems to work well here.
I asked someone the other day what I could really use continuous shooting for effectively - now I have just one answer from many.
Reading through the many comments below - I have to say I think each shot is perfect. The cropping of the basket doesn't bother me at all either, might have been better if it hadn't been, but at the same time this is such a powerful piece that it doesn't matter. Capturing such an action like a slam dunk must have been crazy hard and you did a great job so I won't pick on little details.

This is, without a doubt, my favourite in your gallery.
It's wicked. And while each shot is clearly damn brilliant by itsself (especailly that 1st one!), putting them together is genius and looks brilliant.
What made you choose the sepia tones though? Basketball you normally associate with bright lights and colours - the all american dream! Starnge choice, but i really like that it's different!

ps - i'd love to see a bigger version so i can see more detail in each of ther shots x

Really great job. Shooting sports, especially indoor ones are very difficults. I mean the equiptment for one has to be up to par, and the lighting in indoor gyms is usually awful. Amazing shot, was it done as a multi-shot burst?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes. 5 frames per sec.
thanks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
wow that is absolutely stunning! very well done! So you're now one of those thousands of photographers who are sitting behind the basket and flashing as soon as a player comes near?

yeah something like that. 
thx.
