The weather for yesterday morning's track meet was threatening rain so I used my Panasonic point-and-shoot instead of the Canon XSi -- less costly to ruin if it gets wet -- and I remembered one of the big reasons why I love the XSi! It's great for snapping the action as it happens. The Panasonic, on the other hand, blanks out when it's storing a photograph and you really can't take an action series as well. This set wasn't too bad after I quit gnashing my teeth and decided to adjust to what the Panasonic can do -- and that's basically focusing in one place with a wide view and cropping them later.The hurdles shots were totally out of focus, but I did catch a few of the pole vault.
Very nice series of shots, especially with the Panasonic handicap! Impressive!
ReplyDeleteFabulous shot!! Looks like she made it over.
ReplyDeleteGreat little series! Nice, bright colors, and you really get a sense of the action. Give that little camera - and its photographer - a hearty pat on the back! :-D
ReplyDeleteDespite the difficulties, you captured the action nicely. Putting it in a triptych format was brilliant.
ReplyDeleteHey, not to bad for your point and shoot, hate to tell you, I wouldn't bring my XSI out in wet weather either! Great decision! LOL
ReplyDeleteWonderful results from the backup camera. You've presented this series really well too...
