Love all the pics today!

From my son's swimmeet. I'm finding shooting in meets frustrating yet challenging - trying to deal with the action in a low light environment from a distance. I'm always fiddling around with ISO, shutterspeed and aperture - not to mention WB and metering. Also working on breathing and posture as I'm too lazy to bring my tripod. If the light is half decent I can get away just shooting in S priority with AUTO WB, but most of the time the light is crappy. It does help make the meets more interesting...

Try a monopod to help steady the camera. They shouldn't get in anyone's way. Might be fun to try panning, too.

Thanks for the tips - If I bring my tripod I do use it as a monopod. Panning - good suggestion; something new for me to try!

You have a cool image here. What I like about the shot is you filled the frame with swimmers and they extend out of the frame... which gives the shot an edgy feel, an intensity.
Try not to be frustrated by the environment and think of it as a negative.
Use the low light to add some motion blur. Or bump up the iso and get some noise, open up the lens all the way for a shallow depth of field.
Experiment, You may find they add a sense of speed,intensity, motion etc.

Thanks!

I appreciate the feedback - some new things to try tomorrow night.
