Light. Focus. Emotion. Story.
Those are the things I look for when photographing sports. Although I know how to find these on the soccer pitch and the baseball diamond, shooting track has been much tougher.But I'm getting better.
So, for the second time out, I decided to use my long lens, my monopod and to move around to try to capture more of the overall track meet experience. But always focusing upon the four keys.

Story . . .
{Inspired by my friend Becky who posted these reflections on shooting tennis}.
These definitely tell a story and show emotion - really like that shot of Clara.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots,Rinda....I wish I could get that sort of focus on moving targets.
ReplyDeleteWell, running and taking pictures of running are completely beyond my small talents, so I say yay! to both of you
ReplyDeleteYou both are winners! Your action shots are great.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic shots, Rinda. Great photo journalism here! :o)
ReplyDeleteI think you've always been good at sports shots. I'm so sorry I didn't take up photography until after my kids "graduated" from sports! These are especially good though, and it's a great checklist for lots of photos!
ReplyDeleteI love how clear your photos are and I love the great depth of field in the last one! The orange bow just glows with light!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of camera do you use??
I think you did wonderfully. That look of concentration on Clara's face is really special.
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely doing really well here - they look great shots to me :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful photographs Rinda.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, so sharp!
