Nightmare in the Water

Two co-workers asked me to shoot their kids who are on the swim team. They want large-ish pano prints of the kids doing the butterfly - coming up out of the water.

The pool had zero light - and the batteries in my flash died - but the light from the pool gave me some pretty cool underlighting at times.

Why do people post their equipment in their sig. Isn't it kind of like bragging? That having been said...

    hi Du8die,

    looks like rough conditions! I think you were the most successful in #2, but it's leaning a bit (draining the pool mwink.gif ), if you leveled it, it would be superb!

    Hi Du8die. I'm at work and pics from smugmug are "blocked", so I'll take a look at your shots tonight when I get home.

    What swim team/pool were you shooting? Was this in WI or IL? I've done some swimming shots in the area (mostly northern burbs of Chicago), and have some on my site if you want to look.

    Like I said, I'll check your shots tonight. :)

    Hey John,

    Brookfield, actually. This wasn't a team shoot, just a few kids who happened to be on a team. The lighting was horrible...

    I've checked out your stuff. Very nice.

    Thanks!
