以“記者”身份看姚明打球

這大概是我短短的攝影“生涯”中最令人激動的一次攝影了。2009年4月5日我應邀以“記者”身份去休斯敦火箭隊看球賽、攝影。也許這是喜歡上攝影、有了較好的器材以後最出人意料的“好處”。坐在Toyota體育館的球場地板上，和其他職業攝影師們一起邊看球邊拍攝，還可以和他們交流攝影的器材和心得。非常難忘，也有許多得意。

那晚我背著相機，坐在球場上，和球員的距離很近，可以看到他們的汗珠。因為有記者牌，還可以在球場四周走來走去，找不同的角度拍攝。可惜的是那時還沒有70-200/2.8的快鏡頭，所以這些相片還不是非常滿意。隻有期待下一次了。

下個月NBA的新賽季就要開始，可惜姚明因手術得休息一段時間。希望他早日康複，早日重回火箭隊。

This was probably one of the most exciting experiences in my short photographer "career."

In April 2009, I was invited to be a photographer for a group at a Houston Rockets game. I received a photographer badge, which meant that I was able to sit on the floor of the actual basketball court, like the professional photographers. That was an awsome experience to be able to watch the NBA players, especially Yao Ming, so close. I can see their sweat and almost smell their body "flagrant." I've been to the Toyota Center many times before, but had never been able to take photos on the actual playing floor.

While I was sitting on the floor, I started chatting with two other Chinese photographers sitting next to me. I happened to know one of them. We compared the cameras and lenses we were using. That was the time when I found out that the 100-400mm/4.5L lens I have was very limited for indoor shooting. The aperture is simply not big enough to allow very fast shooting. The other photographer was using a 70-200mm/2.8L but it has limited distance and can cover only half of the court.

Wearing that journalist badge allowed me to walk around the court, like a pro. I was able to move to both ends of the courts to cover both the defensive and offensive movements. For about a few hours, I felt like "some body." That was a special feeling and it was brought by my photography hobby.

The only trouble was that I can't sit on the floor for too long. It hurt my back and rear end like crazy after a while. I had to get up and walk around. The professional video photographers for the TV stations all brought their own "legless" seats on the floor to give them back support. If I did this often enough, I would need something like that as well.

盡管我也滿佩服姚明作為商人的精明, 懂得在自己最值錢的時候以最高的價錢把自己賣了. 但他不激情的比賽讓人調不起興致，姚明不擁有個性，沒有一定的速度，籃板卡位意識淡薄以及第一時間彈跳弱勢，在進攻籃板這一塊陣地上當然吃虧，看看場上他的失誤，哪一次不是讓我們如坐針氈，痛苦不堪，心灰意冷？
