AJC Staff Photos of the Year, 2011-- Curtis Compton
Minnesota Lynx forward Maya Moore responds to fans by letting out a yell on her way off the court celebrating a 77-64 victory over the Atlanta Dream at Philips Arena in Atlanta. Moore scored 12 points in her return home as a professional. I focused and then held the camera up in the air for a "Hail Mary" shot hoping I could get at least one frame in focus. Made with a Canon EOS-1D camera, a 24mm lens at f 3.2 at 1/800 second and an ISO rating of 2500. Curtis Compton ccompton@ajc.com
