    ooopppssss...but kind of funny

    OK, as most of you know I have a problem that causes me to either lose use or control of my right hand. On occasion this happens when I am shooting. It's tough to shoot when you cannot feel the buttons (no feeling in my right hand), and, on occasion I take a shot I didn't intend to take. Here is one of those accidental shots. I was watching through the viewfinder but never intended to take this and it threw me when I saw it in the folder.....it also gave me a laugh though.

    LOL....that's great, JS. How did you get the one person to look very blue?

    Maybe we can make this thread a sticky so we can try to caption that picture....I'd love to hear what some people come up with.

    It's a good shot, interesting framing using the referee.

    Just that litle bit missing of the guy on top's face.
    Shift your position about a foot down and to the right and it would be a great shot !

    The white balance here must be awful to get right.
    The autoWB to flash on this has left the artificial light yellow, and by contrast the flash looks blue.
    But it suits the shot, it looks like he's turning blue !

    As SW points out the auto WB was freaked out by the different lighting in the shot, it actually shows three diffrent types of lighting in this crazy shot...tungstein, flourecent and the flash strobe.

    SW, as for moving, I couldn't, I was in the stands and was limited on location where I wouldn't block the people who paid to watch. The paper frowns on getting those kinds of complaints....haven't had one in the 5+ years I have been doing this don't wannt to start now....

    OK, I'm cracking up here!

    Looks to me like someone is giving birth.
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    I guess you guys need the female perspective a little bit more.

    The blue face was the topper.

    The blue face should be red, but due to the odd lighting it's way off color in places.It couldn't get all three light types to balance and get correct colors.
