Great shots! Especially the Javelin!

Thanks! This was the first time I've shot Javelin. In the past it has been one of the last events and I didn't stay to the end. It was earlier in this meet. The biggest problem I have in shooting track meets is that there is a lot of waiting around on some events and many events going on in a spread out area. It would be much better to have multiple folks shooting.

Excellent shots

I shot another track and field meet yesterday and was reminded how tiring it is. I think I ended up getting 9000 or so steps in during the meet. Here are some favorite shots. I took over 1800 shots so I shot jpg and was happy with the results. There were a few really low light photos that I might have improved if I had shot RAW.
