Gymnastics

I'm not a sports photographer, I'm a nature photographer. But, my oldest daughter competes in Gymnastics, so I try my best and capture her. Here's a few photos from the past year...

Very nice! My son used to compete, and I found that it can be very difficult getting good images in the gymnastics venue. You've captured these well.

Tell me about it! No flash allowed and my fastest lens is f/4. So that means ISO 3200 is a requirement.

Thanks for looking. :thumbup:

You did well, i have said a few times on here that the 5D can do sports
It looks like she is competing at quite a high level

Yeah, the 5D works well enough for me. She's Level 5 and she's 11....going on 25!

Great action shots!

You gotta love indoor sports and the lighting!

Nice! I like how you captured the concentration on her face.

Composition is really good for such action shots.

You're GOOD!

My grandaughter is also a level 5 gymnast. I am trying to capture her performances, but the shots are still very amateurish. I have a Rebel xt and a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 lens. My current skill level is little more than point and shoot.

Any helpful hints are welcome.
