Another weekend...another poorly lit gym. But I continue to try....I need to tweak the WB I think....must have been more florescent lights than I thought.

Anyway....critiques and comments welcome....

I think they are very good!! I took some at a YMCA gymnastics meet this weekend too, but none as good as yours. What lens did you use?

Overall, these are great considering the location and conditions. Just get your WB under control and your off and running. Nicely done.

Nice shots, but the WB seems off....

Nice shots, #7 & 8 are my personal choice. Where were you shooting from and how close were you to the floor?

On 7 & 8 I was about 15 feet away next to some mats...laying down and shooting upwards with the 85mm lens. I cut a lot of feet off with that focal length, but I could not back up and never really had time to swap out to my 50mm or the 24-70....

The beam shots are all done with the 70-200... the ones directly down the beam I was standing in a closet that happened to be located there...I looked silly with this lens poking out the door, but it worked :)

As long as I stay out of the way, they let me roam pretty much whereever seeing as I post these for all the kids on the team.
