lighting conditions and those mats are hard to shoot on, once shot one with a black floor, ugh...horrid

pretty nice, the hard part to really do is to get that peak moment in a pin or move, where you can see both opponents eyes with the facial expressions, and keep whats going on in frame

the second is better it shows an emotion the first one is just there, but still good clean captures

Thanks for sharing. I am trying to get better at wrestling. I like the closeness/cropping of the shots. Are you using a flash? Mike

I admire good wrestling shots, it so hard not to get butt and crotch shots all of the time! Great job!

I like the first better, being a former wrestler myself, but I don't like the chairs and ref. in the background. Also, the skin tones seem a bit off. I know its hard to get them correct under those conditions, but I think a little curves could go a long way here.

From 12-17-2005 (NY) Both are crops with filters (smart sharp 200, .2, 0 and remove noise 2,1,1) from a Dig Rebel 6.3 and 135mm F2 (320 @2.0 and iso 800)

Illinois huh?!

What schools are those?

Looks like stevenson in the first one.

I love the last one, shots great action/reaction perfectly

[cargo123]

Nice shots. Thanks for sharing. The second shot show intensity on both wrestlers.

I like that second one for the close crop and expression of the fellow on the bottom. This is a sport I never get to shoot, as our school doesn't have a wrestling team. It looks challenging.

It is Aledo and Fulton. Both 1A teams.
Thanks Bruce
