    A few more swimming shots

    I am still experimenting with different setups for indoor swimming.
    First and second shots are auto with flash with the 70-200 lens.
    Third shot is aperture priority with the 50mm with f/1.4 and ISO 800 firing at 1/500 sec.
    The fourth shot is again aperture priority and the 50mm at f/1.4 ISO 1600 at 1/640 sec.

    Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

    Your really beginning to get it dialed in. These are your best yet from the pool. I like both 4 and 5.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Thanks OT, it has been a challenge for sure, but one that has been fun. Only 2 meets left for me to shoot, so it is about time to get it figured out...
