Wrestling, the real kind.

Was asked by the paper to shoot some high school wrestling this year. New to me and I have plenty of room for improvement and timing. The good thing is that the entire thing was over in an hour.

Nice set, Ron. One sport I've never shot, and I can see where this would be a real challenge, especially in a gym with ambient light only!

 

[Gary A.]

#3 is my fav.

 

[ronlane]

Thanks @tirediron and @Gary A.. It was a challenge and fun learning experience. I'm sure they will have me go back again probably after the 1st of the year.

I did have the pop-up flash on my 7D mk ii go up and fire on one shot. After seeing it, I may have to consider using it again.

Nice shots. #3 is my favorite, as well, but would possibly prefer more ref?

Thanks Wade. I can see your point. I was so focused on the action and I knew he was about to pin him and was trying to time it to get the ref's hand on the mat.

The action can happen so quickly.
