Cardiff Met Archers vs Nottingham Wildcats, Women’s British Basketball League (WBBL) match on Saturday 21st January 2023. Game played at the Archers Arena, Cardiff Metropolitan University, in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom, during the 2022-23 season.


About the photograph.

This is the 25 years old, American born Abigail Yunker, playing for Archers attempting to throw the ball to her team mates. Yunker was born in Whitehouse, Ohio.

In the front of her, is the 26 years old Kayla Shaw of Nottingham Wildcats, trying to be careful not to commit a foul while attempting to block Yunker. Shaw is also an American, she was born in Phoenix, Arizona. She is now playing for a team in Finland.

With special thanks to the members of Cardiff Met staff for giving me permissions to shoot the game from courtside.

I had been taking the photos with a 50mm f1.8 lens, as it was only fast enough than the 28-200mm lens I have, for the indoor shots. I was allowed to go up and down the sidelines, as long as I don’t get too close to the playing field.

At the end of the game, the score was Archers 69 – 75 Wildcats.

The shot was turned into black and white in Adobe Lightroom, for a dramatic sports action feel (I hope).

About the photographs.

This is British born, Nottingham Wildcats player Brahe Ashton wearing jersey number 1, attempting to block, but careful not to comment a foul, the opposite player.

The opposite is the American born Abigail Yunker playing for Cardiff Met Archers, wearing jersey number 2.

In the photo, Yunker is attempting to find an opening, to pass to any of her teammates, but she was unable to do so, and decided to move to her right, and get around Ashton.

Special thanks to the members of Cardiff Met staff for giving me permissions to shoot the game from courtside.

I had been taking the photos with a 50mm lens, as it was the only lens, I have that is fast enough. The 28-200mm would have limited aperture which would have given me slow shutter speed. I spent the whole game going up and down the sidelines, looking for best possible shots.

At the end of the game, the score was Archers 69 – 75 Wildcats.

About the photographs.

Top left: The British born 19 years old Isabel “Issy” Bunyan, of Cardiff Met Archers wearing jersey number 10, the one with the flowing ponytail, is seen here attempting to dribble around the Nottingham Wildcats player.

The Wildcats player in the photo is the 27 years old Mari Stewart, wearing jersey number 12, born in Californian, United States. She had signed up to play for Nottingham Wildcats from 2022 onwards.

Middle photo: Bunyan made an attempt to leap up and toss the ball toward the basket instead of dribbling ahead to get closer. Note her feet are off the floor as she shoots. Stewart attempts to knock the ball but did not manage to do so.

Bottom right: This was taken very few seconds later, showing that Bunyan’s shoot paid off, and she scored two points. Steward had run on ahead, prepared for a rebounded, but can only watch the ball go through the net.


Many special thanks to members of Cardiff Met staff for giving me permissions to shoot the game from courtside.

The shots were taken with a Nikon D200 and a 50mm lens. The collage was made with Adobe Photoshop.

About the photographs.

During the warm up and before the tip-off (basketball speak similar to football’s “kick-off” term), I took those photos of Cardiff Met Archers’ mascot.

I think the first photograph, file 0069, may have bad focusing. I spent years using manual focus camera, but haven’t used an Auto-Focus digital camera much during the years as a busy single parent, so I’m really rusty with AF settings and skills.

Point of note: I’ve no idea who is in this dragon outfit, I never thought to ask.
