Wrestling C&C

A couple more shots from this past weekends tournament. It was our tournament and it went over very well compared to last year. I didn't get to shoot much because I had more to do this year. Ran the head table for a few hours and made sure everyone was where they were supposed to be and what not.

All in all a great day and the kids placed well in the tournament. Last tournament is this weekend, they league matches and team finals and individual county championships at the end of February.

Let me know what you think.

I know usually it's good to capture emotions, but #3 makes me feel bad. He's even reaching out to you for help!

What lens did you shoot these with?

Sigma 70-200mm 2.8, f2.8, 1/250th, iso 800, flash bounced off the ceiling.

Flash was on the shoe?

First one is awesome. Great shots. Thr last one is a bit sad to look at because he's crying and the kid on top is mean.

Flash was on the shoe. Cannot afford strobes and setup would be too time consuming for me right now. My oldest son wrestles and the parents all say they want to buy photos. But most never do.

They probably want them for the $0.20 or so that you can get 4x6's printed at.

If they want to buy the originals they can get them printed for the $0.20.

LOL! I agree.

Great photos. I have never come close to your fine work. You may have just taught me a new trick so stand by. LOL

Let me know when you have performed the trick. I will have tons of photos late next week. Tonight I shot our tots match. The lighting seemed good in the building we were in.

Tomorrow, league match in a dungeon.

Sunday, tournament, only shooting in the afternoon because that is when my oldest wrestles.

And guess what, tonight my middle boy won his two matches. Came back in both of them. First year tot and wrestled like a champ tonight. I will post some of his matches next week. I am soooo proud and happy for him. This is his first year and it has been a big adjustment for him. He worked hard tonight and I would not trade his smiling face for anything!

Thanks for the info. Ive got a new 70-200 2.8 sitting here, and Im going to try it out Wednesday at our Wrestling meet.
