Track

So I am finding out that I need some faster glass to shoot track with, but I am doing what I can. :)

Anyway, these are some pics from the middle school track meet, and a few from the high school meet. I wish I could have done more at the high school meet but it's hard when you are also running.

These first 2 are from the high school meet.

Now the middle school meet.

These last three I had to raise my ISO way up. All the way up to 5000 and I still couldn't get a fast enough shutter speed. I was really wishing I had a 70-200mm f2.8 lens.... :/  Someday I shall.

It was my first time to photograph a track meet so I didn't know what to expect, but now that I have gotten my feet wet I know what to do. :) 

Hopefully the pictures will get better as the season progresses.

More from the Run

A 5K Run

For my photography class we are doing photo journalism, which is telling a story of a single event through pictures. Also there was a Fun Run in the area so I decided that would be a great thing to use for my photoj assignment.

On the first 3 I would really suggest clicking them to enlarge it, so you can see the detail better. and these smaller images just don't suffice. =P

They are about to start the run, the people in the front are getting ready.

And their off (if you enlarge this one you can see mud coming off the gray shoe, and the white shoed person is in mid-air)

Running Ahead.

Coming into the finish

2nd place running into the finish

Exhausted.....

I wanted to participate in the 5K run but I am glad I didn't. =P I did run the 3K and came in first with a time of 19 minutes and 37 Seconds

A little Exif data:
