We Call the Shots

When taking a picture it is important to get an action shot. Not all good photos are action shots but action shots generally make a more interesting photo. For example all of the following pictures were taken at the Altoona Area Junior High School boys’ basketball game against the Alvernia Crusaders. These action shots feature cheering cheerleaders, players in the game and players warming up before the game.

Ninth graders Ben Warren, Donnie Moyer and Brennan Baughman watch their teammates practice shooting while waiting their turn. The white boys’ basketball team warms up for approximately twenty minutes before each game. Photo by Paige Glasgow.
