Last night the person in charge of the local basketball referees asked me if I would get some photos of the referees during the games I shoot. He said that many of the game officials would love to get photos of themselves in action.
While I have gotten officials signaling a touchdown or handing out a yellow card, I've never gone out of my way to make them the focal point of a photo. In fact, most of my efforts have been to keep their backsides out of my photos. I found it very difficult to switch my attention from the players making the play to the ref calling the play and most of the time I was out of position anyway.
If you have any good ref shots or any ideas for shots then please post them.
