Intense Expression...
Another image from the Track Series. I particularly like all of the expressions in this image. The only things I did to this were to fade out the name of the schools on the track suits and to crop a little bit on the bottom and top. Everything pretty much is what it is! Please comment and critique. Thanks and have a blessed day!!!

  The runner's expressions are excellent, the missing heads, background, a little distracting, not sure how to overcome that, excellent action capture, Autum.

  Dominick, Gail, Carolyn, Heidi, Shirley, Sharon, Colleen, Sherri, Ken, Paul, Daphne, Manuel, & Bill ~ thank you so much everyone! I had a great time capturing these guys. I used my 70-300mm lens. It was overcast - so the natural lighting was perfect. :-)

Great capture of the expressions, Autum! As far as suggestions, it depends whether you were trying to capture a team or an individual. With the 300mm lens, I would have tried for a close up of an individual (maybe chest up) and tried to catch a competitor in a nearby lane out of focus. But then I haven't shot that much track! I am not too crazy about this shot but attach it to illustrate the type of POV that I would shoot to capture the expressions.

  Trula, thanks so much for your wonderful compliment! It was an overcast day - I had the camera slightly exposed. WB was on auto. ISO was on auto. I set it to continuous shooting. Basically, I took a slew of pictures really quickly. :-) I have some othe really great pictures from the event, but I didn't post them. :-)
