First time Wrestling (State Championships) C&C

Hey Guys, So as many of you know I shoot for the state doing quite a few of their state championships each year. Well last weekend was wrestling and it just happened to be my first time. If you dont mind, I uploaded my shots to sportsshooter and am wondering if a few of you could take a look and tell me how I did.

Thanks.

Really nice shots. you've captured the action wonderfully. Clean and crisp shots. I only wish I had the lighting in the gyms my boys wrestle in. They are dungeons.

Very well done, congrats.

Yeah the light was decent. I mean it was at Mizzou.. (University of Missouri)

I have a post further down with some wrestling photos from the past weekend. If you wouldn't mind taking a look and let me know what you think of them.

Will do.

Very sharp photos! Did you use any flash/strobes??

Were you close enough to use your 85 1.8 or did u go with the 300 or 70-200?

Again very nice shots!

I used my 70-200 at 200 almost the entire time. Even when I was closer than were I had been sitting to shoot the finals. Shoot Tight, Crop Tighter.

Great job. You got some nice shots there

Nice shots, Dave. Wrestling is tough because of the constant moving in different directions.

yeah I agree, it was a totally new experience for me.

Great photos! Really nice captures for your first time. One of the toughest sports around. I played football and wrestled and wrestling was definitely much harder.

You captured great action, but unless it's compression affecting the pics, the pics look very yellow to me. That's perhaps the problem with ambient light.

Two weeks ago I shot the Section Championships and used my 600ws RX Elinchrom strobes, no ambient light, and the color and results are just much cleaner than those. No offense meant at all. Your action shots are way better than mine.

I agree with Mark here. Awesome shots...but the tones appear yellowish on my screen as well.
