Athletic Afternoon

[Incomplete Pete]

Spent a few hours covering the athletics at Loughborough University today. The event was a competition between all the halls of residence at the uni and was the firts time I'd shot athletics.

All comments welcome!

What lens did you use?

Nice compositions, the high jump picture is pretty cool.

All shot with a 1D MkII with either a 70-200 f2.8 L IS + 1.4 TC or a 17-40 f4 L.

High jump shot is my fav.

Good stuff Pete... had the joys of my first track and field shoot today... didn't know if I was coming or going!

The one thong to remember with athletics and most other 'people' sport is - head, hands and feet. They should all be in the shot. Nice work by the way. Not an easy discipline.
