"Working the shot" is not a new concept for me, but my approach to it in my own personal photography is just a bit different. I agree with you about basketball. I shoot a ton of it and just finished up my basketball season last weekend. I have tons of great photos of referee's asses and hands in front of faces. As a sports stringer for the local newspaper, I find myself camped out on sidelines and baselines several times a week.

As we shoot starting before the peak moment of action in hopes of getting that perfect shot. In basketball, working the shot requires some knowledge of the game, and idea where to get the good shots, access to the area, and a good amount of luck and frames per second. I'm glad to see that my working the shot post was so provocative. It seems to have stirred something within you. :-) Want to talk about a lot of ‘almost’ images, basketball is the sport for you! :-) As a matter of fact sports, in general, offer lots and lots of almost moments.
