Yesterday I took my new Canon 5DsR and Canon 5D Mark IV out for a test run at Spoorpark Tilburg—and walked right into a basketball match. A group of young guys, shirtless under the summer sun, were giving it their all on the court. After asking if they were okay with me photographing them (they were more than excited!), I jumped in with my cameras to try and keep up.

For sports photography, timing is everything. These players were sprinting end-to-end, leaping high, and dodging low in quick succession. With my 5DsR paired to a Sigma 50mm prime, I was right in the action—capturing expressive faces, the grit, and the raw energy. Meanwhile, the 5D Mark IV with the Sigma 100–400mm gave me the reach for those powerful jump shots and mid-court duels.

Lighting was a challenge: harsh sun one moment, soft shadows the next. Rapid adjustments to shutter speed, aperture, and ISO were essential to keep motion sharp without blowing out highlights. Add in the physical workout of carrying heavy gear and maneuvering around fast-moving players—and it was as much a sport for me as it was for them.

Sports photography teaches patience, reflexes, and anticipation. Blink at the wrong time, and you miss the moment. But nail it, and you freeze raw athleticism into an image forever.
