    Swimming

    Some recent swimming pictures. Still searching for some consistent settings to use.
    Not sure why I like the fourth picture but somehow the blurriness seemed to accentuate the chaos of a swimming relay race.

    Picture 1 shot 1/320 f/2.8 ISO 800 no flash Aperture Priority
    Picture 2 shot 1/60 f/2.8 ISO 800 no flash Aperture Priority
    Picture 3 shot 1/60 f/4 ISO 400 with flash Auto mode
    Picture 4 shot 1/50 f/2.8 ISO 800 with flash Aperture Priority
    Picture 5 Shot 1/60 f/2.8 ISO 400 with flash Auto mode

    As always, comments and suggestions are appreciated.

    Re: Swimming

    I like the first shot, only wish it was brighter. The one thing, if I may suggest, is to get a lower perspective when (as your first shot). Being lower adds more impact to the shot (IMO).
