I hadn't done a swim meet in almost two years, so it took awhile to get even close on the timing. Two from tonight's swim tri-meet. Pictures taken with Canon 85 on 40D body. Used 580EXII flash. f2.8, 1/250 at 1250 ISO. Thoughts, c & c appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Love #2, the calm before she breaks the water.

They are great timing shots. Definitely love the freeze action, but did you noise ninja them? they just look a bit processed.

General punch on full size photo in lightroom, then sharpened after re sizing for the upload. Thanks for your comments.

I think they look very nice. My only suggestion might be to drop the iso 1/3 or better yet, use a diffuser or bounce card. I think it would calm the flashed look down touch and get things looking really natural.

I really had hoped to use one Alien Bee, but there was too many people in there and I didn't feel comfortable sitting it up. I tried(I thought) using the bounce card on the 580. Maybe I can try the ceiling the next time. I should have thought of that as the ceiling is white and not too high. Thanks for your suggestions.

Good timing and I especially like the swimmer's face reflected in the water in the second shot.
