I recently got to shoot a track meet for the first time. I have to say... Every time I shoot a new sport it gives me a new respect for the people who shot during the film days.
As usual, any tips, recommendations or critiques are welcome.
100 hurdles

I'd like to see a version of the hurdles cropped much tighter. But aside from that, fantastic work.

Last 3 need to be leveled. Agree about tighter crops.

HJ
shoot opposite corner from their approach
they aim at that corner triangulated from mid step usulayy 5th step on a 10 step approach
that can vary but its a starting point
pop em on top of the bar
delete shots with arms in face
which happens on many jumpers depending on lay out on take off

this and a dollar will buy you a coke

Tighter crop or shoot later on the hurdles, but the high jump is an absolute cracker.

I really like the high jumper and the pole vaulter.
