The UK All Star Wrestling show toured Scotland two weeks ago and visited Wick in Caithness. It was my first attempt at wrestling photos. Not sure which one is the best.

Looks underexposed, colors are bland, Soft, I don't know, just something about them that isn't pleasing.

I think you have to appreciate pro wrestling to appreciate the photos.. only problems I have with them is they seem too zoomed and not the big action shots. When you see others shooting wrestling it's a wider shot with moves involved rather than rest shots and pins. If you can get pictures of what they (the wrestlers) call the 'high spots' you can even get them to use your photos WITH your copyright on them even.

The lighting is indicative of all pro wrestling shots other than the massive production budgets WWE and TNA (the "big 2") have for lighting, and the pictures look good in that respect. Unless you can get away with bringing a flash this is what you get to work with. Some promoters don't allow flash because it interferes with their video-taping of the event they plan on selling on DVD later.


EOS 7D Sigma 70-200 F2.8 (1.4 extender outdoors) are the workhorses. 50D for backup, EF 70-300MM USM f/4-5.6 IS, Freelance photographer for local newspapers and my website viewthroughmylens.net (external link)

Every single one of these is a great shot! #3 is a creative angle. Shows the mood of All Star Wrestling!
