Battle for the Coast (Roller Derby)

I shot Battle for the Coast this last weekend. It was great, 10 teams plus a men's bout. Here are a few of my Favorites.

Great shots!! All I can say is this is a great advertisement for me to NOT do this sport! LOL Looks very rough. Pic 4 makes me say "ouch!" Love the expressions and intensity you captured.

Good stuff

Great shot. Were these shot with the new 5D MKIII?

nice, like how you captured the intensity of this sport

Over all I think you did a really good job. White bal appears to be solid.

Some of them seem to be OCF and some ambient - am I right?

I really like 5 & 6 and I think 8 is STELLAR!

Very nice work, it all looks intense!

Most excellent work.. thanks for sharing.

Yes, I normally under-expose the ambient light by two stops and set the flashes to ettl. That way I get no motion blur.
