Looking back, I wouldn't say I've come a long way, but I'd say the photographs I made did improve. My first few photographs were not of sports. But my first sports photographs were of my basketball teammates at a gathering we had in December 2011. I wasn't even serious. I was shooting pictures for the fun of it. And I had all my settings wrong, because I didn't understand any of it. Shutter speed, aperture, ISO, you name it.
