    Last night

    Well last night was the first of three straight 2 event nights. The night starts off with swimming and ends with girls basketball. FYI - I didn't process these much, and did no noise processing at all.

    The first part of last night:
    I had a surprise when I walked in and found they had replaced all the lights in the pool - guess they heard me complain about the darkness - huge difference this time!

    Looks like you had a pretty good night. You got two basketball shots that would normally have hands or arm in front of faces, but you framed the face and got the expression. Nice job. It's been 30 years since I shot swimming so i'm no expert, by I love the shots you got.

    How to tell the most experienced shooter in a group? They have the least amount of toys on them.

    Re: Last night

    Thanks OT. Since my shoulder problem has gotten worse I have had a tough time shooting. The swimming was OK for a change. I showed the girl the two shots of her diving, she loved them, unfortunately the paper didn't run them...oh well.The basketball game only had one shot run, and it was hilarious (I'll scan it tonight after I get a copy of it). The bottom basketball shot was a foul that wasn't called. As it turned out it didn't matter as the home team came from behind to win.... they hit 10 3 point shots, one of which is the girl taking the shot framed by the defenders hands.

    Well things will be busy for the next week, then I will miss 2 to 6 weeks of work as I am having surgery on that shoulder. 2 tears in the rotator cuff! Almost took a tendon right off the bone....not sure how I am able to even shoot at all with it....it hurts!
