Basketball Afternoon: Giants vs. Kortrijk Spurs

            Yesterday, we had the pleasure of attending a basketball game, invited by my daughter and son-in-law, who is a former basketball player and still a passionate supporter of the sport. The atmosphere was lively, with plenty of energy from the crowd and the players. The show around the game reminded me of a toned-down version of an American football event, but overall, it was a fun spectacle to experience.

Photographing the game, however, was a real challenge. If you’re not used to capturing such a fast-paced sport, it’s tough to get the timing and angles right for an interesting shot. That said, I managed to snap a few decent ones!

As for the game itself, it was a tough evening for the home team. The Giants suffered a painful defeat against the Kortrijk Spurs (113-67).
