    High jump

    One of the photos of the girls High Jump at the Track and Field Championships this afternoon.







    I had trouble with the lighting but its been a fun challenge.

    Constructive criticism welcomed

    I might like one or two frames later.. just showing her over the bar maybe. Indoor track & field must be real tough lighting too
    EOS 7D, Canon 24-70F2.8, Sigma 70-200 F2.8 (with or without 1.4 Extender), and posting photos on my website: viewthroughmylens.net

    I like the second one better. But think the frame may be a bit tight....perhaps it's just me.

    Re: High jump

    I like your second post as well. One of the big challenges with track and field photography is eliminating distracting backgrounds. There seems to always be people milling around or extra equipment that distracts from the photo. You have to be very careful with your angle and framing.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
