Paul suggested I show some shot I took from a regatta this past weekend. Enjoy!

These are very nice shots matt, there are a few that I would change the composition a bit. For example in the last two, I think there's to much empty space (water) along the bottom of these two shots. I would appear that in most of these you put your subject right in the center of the picture or close to it. I would place the subject off-center a bit.

Even with that I like them.

I disagree on that last one, if you crop the water, then the horizon line comes central.

Gotcha, thanks!

Rowing is a year-round, full-body conditioning sport. The whole body is involved in moving a shell through the water. Rowing is a sport in which athletes race against each other on river, lakes or on the ocean, depending upon the type of race and the discipline. The boats are propelled by the reaction forces on the oar blades as they are pushed against the water.

The most important aspect of capturing truly outstanding sports pictures comes in the timing. Let's say that you are at a high school football game. A deep pass is coming your way. As you anticipate the action, make sure your camera can snap a picture at the exact moment your index finger presses the button. A fraction of a second early or late means you missed the best possible shot. This About.com article features the best digital cameras for sports photography.

Thank you!

OK? :idea:
