Shooting Track

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.

I was pretty frustrated with the results from my first track meet.  The only good shots I got were taken with my longer lens and when I got up to move around the track.

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.

Light . . . 

Focus . . . 

Story . . . 

Emotion . . .

I think I'm getting better at this!
