    A few swimming photos

    Things have been pretty busy and between being busy and sick I haven't been around much. But here is part of the reason I have been busy.

    Re: A few swimming photos

    Thank you Bfiredup.... thats the only swimming I shot this year and to be honest it showed with some of them that I didn't post. I also see I forgot to rotate one of them I must have been more tired than I thought .....

    dude you know you rock, beyond that don't you feel like a pervert for shooting swimming I know I always did when I was assigned to shoot it especially the under 13 league. Beyond feeling like a perv I think you did a great job ;)

    Re: A few swimming photos

    I don't think about anything but getting the shot, once home anything the least "off color" gets dumped to the trash can.

    One football photo would have been great to use in the paper, the editor wanted it as it was the best shot of the weekend, but the staff photog refused to photoshop a "finger" that was very prominent on the ball carriers hand. A year after he graduated he said he did intentionally to see if theit would get printed, never thinging we'ed notice he was giving the camera the "finger".
    But shooting swimming and gymnastics present their own issues.... and large trash cans of trashed photos.

    JS....

    Nice shooting... I like the last one best. Good crop and great action..

    I was in your neck of the woods this weekend shooting gymnastics at the "Circle of Stars". I also had the chance to see alot of players at the NFL Combine today... I did not have my camera with me for the players though.... Plus I would have felt like I was a "groupie".

    Nice pics....As usual..

    Should have let me know you were in the area, we might have been able to meet up. I almost went to the combine but decided not to fight traffic in Indy
    Thanks for the comments too Phil.

    JS... I thought about dropping you a line, but I thought you might be busy or at the combine or basketball shooting.

    I will be back in Indy soon and I will let you know....

    Thanks...
