    More Volleyball

    These aren't as good as some I've posted.. I was tinkering with settings in neat image to work on not turning skin into 'plastic'...I probably could have turned it up a little more still, but they're probably perfectly fine if turned into prints

    Match was a fast 3 games and done sweep dominated by one player on defense.

    1. First a shot of a different player,


    #9 Kind of took over....

    2. She started with a stuff in the first game


    3. And another, with some help


    4. Also on offense, but not a good head on photo


    In all.. 7 of 12 photos I actually used were shots with her in them.

    I wish a couple of them would play high school basketball.. they are bigger and more athletic than any girl who's come through the basketball program the last few years

    As for the expression in #1.. that's EVERY shot of her

    ISO 6400 and a bit over-sharpened from a jamboree in a dark gym 2 weeks ago

    Quality action shots once again! When we shot in these HS gyms just have to take what we can get image wise and try to do the best we can with them. I think you are doing just that. Nice Work!
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Re: More Volleyball

    What strikes me in those last two is the framing of her eyes through the squares of the net, do you have time to think about that or does it just happen?

    Completely random occurrence .. I can't imagine anyone being good enough to be able to do that every time
