    Middle School League Track Meet

    Shot our local middle school's league track meet this last Saturday. It was a great day with a lot of action. Here are some shots to share.















    All of these were shot with the 300 at aperture priority (f/2.8).

    Great action Jim. I love #4 and #7. As I've said before track is a blast to shoot I love it. These youngsters seem to have some pretty good technique.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Very nice shots. I'd love to be shooting outdoors in shorts and a T-shirt like these athletes. It was 14 degrees here this morning and my driveway is a sheet of ice. I'm relegated to gym's until April, methinks.

    Thanks OT, you can really tell which one's have some good coaching.

    Thank you BFiredup, I love looking at my shots after each event looking for those facial expressions.

    Thanks JB, I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't shoot sports year round.

    Love them all. I couldn't pick a favorite if I had to. When I saw you posted pics I got all excited. You've really got something going on. Love your new watermark too.

    Re: Middle School League Track Meet

    Hi Betty,

    Still recovering. I made so much ground in PT in the beginning and now it's slow going. Still going a couple times a week. Definitely better, but I have a long way to go.

    Thanks for asking. It's been brining me down a bit and making me grumpy so I've spared you all and stayed away. lol

    Re: Middle School League Track Meet

    Thanks JS and JETA, I appreciate the comments.

    Also, glad to hear to doing better, even though it's a slow process. Better baby steps then no steps at all. Take care of yourself.
