NBL Media Awards 2008-09

Competition

At the end of each season, the NBL awards those who have produced the best pieces of media for the year. The awards range from Best Feature Article, Best Photograph – Action, Best Photograph – Non-Action, Best Television Feature Story, Best Television News Story, Best Radio Presentation Package and Best Radio News Package. The two which are specifically for photography are Best Action and Best Non-Action photograph.

We’re very excited to have been picked for this year’s awards. Frankly, we’re as shocked about the award as we are about the actual photos themselves. Who would ever have thought that dunk could have turned out so amazing? You never plan for these things. You just set up your equipment, get there for the moment, and press the shutter during that fraction of a second when it needs to be pressed.

Anyway, here’s what the NBL had to say about us:

So without further ado I give you winners, both courtesy of Blinq Photography. Congrats Shawn and Jesse, I’ve never seen anyone in the NBL get a dunk like that, let alone capturing it!


Further details can be found on the NBL website.

We want to thank everyone involved in the team. This was not just the effort of one photographer and his lens. We all pulled a great season together, and It simply wouldn’t have been possible without your help.

Let’s hope next year turns out just as exciting as this year. Nobody could have predicted the rise of the South Dragons and their total court domination. I think I speak for a lot of fans out there when I say they deserve a victory lap next year.

See you then!

    Look at the way his hand is splayed out almost like iron man. The way his line of movement flows from his feet to his hand clentching the ball at the apex of his movement. Coupled with the almost degected onlookers left in the court in the dust. It is a hugely powerful shot that can simply be called: LIFTOFF

    The song “Feeling Good” by Nina Simone comes to mind especially the line “Birds flying high, you know how I feel” so my suggestion is -

    Reaching this level of photographic perfection within a moment of action is almost unparalleled and unreachable by mere mortals.
