Wow!!These are awesome!! Nate, I thought your shots of the basketball games were very good, especially with the wierd lighting that indoor settings have. I could use tips on getting a few good gymnastic shots!! The lighting is always different in every venue and you never know just how far away you will be from the events - and to top it off I'm shooting with the Canon S2Is. Another parent on the team has the Nikon D200 - with some mega honking huge lens!!!LOL I'm thinking of just paying her to take shots of Colleen for me!! Although she did say last year she has trouble getting good stop action even with that camera !! I'm hoping it was just her learning curve due to the short time she had the camera before competition season started!!! Tips anyone!?

Kyle, your kids are so cute.

Thanks, usually I am the one driving, so I am stuck with whatever photos the kids take. This time my brother went with us, and he was driving....

Here are some from a swim meet earlier this summer. I will also try to get some more action shots this month to see if I can improve.

Very nice - really like the sequence shot, ouch!
Thank goodness you weren't shooting the Fighting Irish today - it was really ugly. Nothing "Fighting" out there except the drunks on the upper level!!!

In my signature is a piccie of DS swimming that I took about June time, did not use still camera when he competed at the nationals in July as I knew that the excitement would be too much for me so used video on a tripod will try and get some stills of that, but as camera is relatively new and I have not put any video on the PC yet!

Alex, great shots. I'm very jealous of your lens. I also have the D50 and would LOVE to have that 70-200 f/2.8.

Well done.

Same for you Anewman. Great action shots at that football game.

 

[woj68]

I love everyone's pics!

These were taken today at my DS football game with my new Canon 30D. Shot with a Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS.

Can't wait till my Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L arrives.

 

[PoohJen]

Great shots all!!! I was taking a picture of the catcher here, but I like the pic for the intensity and clarity of the umpire...
