yep - Little Athletics Went along to see my nieces and nephew on the weekend - they had a ball, and so did I !! Can't believe how much they do in an afternoon - long jump, hurdles, discus, shotput, 70m sprint and 100m sprint - and they are only 3, 5 and 7 !!!! (the 3 year old didn't do the discus and shotput). All shots taken at highish iso's as I didn't want to use flash (d70 didn't do too badly )

Discus, iso 500


Shotput, iso 1000


Hurdles - superwoman


Hurdles - coming to the finish line

I like the fact that one, you stepped out of your usual photo zone and 2, came up with some really lovely shots.

The little girl is a treasure and I just love the tongue in #2, so pertinent to concentration in the young. She reminds me of the little one from the movie Zoom

#2 is a ripper, great expression, great comp

#2 for me. both the subject and the apeture make it, whereas the background in #4 gets very crowded and distracts from the action a bit.
I went to my sons athletics carnival as he was doing the javelin. The only trouble is - at 10yrs of age - they have some sort of foam and plastic javelin, and it just wasnt the same. neither were the pics !
