Wrestling + strobes = Good times !

Ummmm..... here are some random shots from this weekend....
Powered by 2 AB1600's and PW's ..... unfortunately i couldn't put my lights exactly where i wanted them and had to make due .... but all in all ... i had a good time and met some great people..... so thats all that really matters...

They hung up my signs for me... handed out cards for me.... and gave me about 5 huge plugs over the PA ....... and all i had to do was show up and shoot ...... I dont normally like shooting spec but it was a small gig (84 kids) and a few hours ... so i figured why not.... The crowd turned out to be just as much fun to shoot as the kids.... LOL

Enjoy the shots..... and let me know what you think ....

#1 (my AB1600)

Very clean and clear, and well lit, especially for a gym setting!

Thanks man ... i appreciate the kind words

I am jealous of your strobes.

Nice shots as well.

Excellent shots. Good emotion from the coach and the wrestlers. +1 for clean and clear. Well Done!!

Very well done Topher.

Nice clean pictures, good colour and well focused with good back ground separation.
Pictures 7 and 8 not showing.

Nice shots. But I have to ask you. What is with the colour of the strobe. They don't come in blue. Is the WB that far off?

Bravo!

Love the coach pics! Love'em all. Tell the coach he needs to order 2 and 3 in 20 x 30.

It's not blue silly...... it was a shot that was overexposed a bit so it was just tweeked in PS to show a bit more detail and the result was a slight color cast to the photo .... i didn't see much of a reason to fix it because it was just a shot for the msg board ....

Thanks for looking !
