1 & 3 are nice shots.
2 has the swimmer's knee in the way.
6 looks like you could've snapped it about 10 seconds earlier when the swimmer was perpendicular to you - he's getting away on you there.

I think your WB may be off just a bit, water changes colours on you a couple times there.

Cheers.

I always shoot in raw mode because the white balance is such a pain at the pool - especially when the water is in the shade. The Canon 5D and 40D usually underexpose and are on the cool side. I just shot with my new 7D last week but the pool had full sun so I don't know how it is going to perform with a half shaded pool (I'll get to see how at my problem pool in eight days). I think it has to do with all the blue of the water. Setting a custom white balance would work except for the pool being half in, half out of the shade.

Bottom line - use raw and adjust the white balance in post processing.


A bunch of stuff.
