Hello,
my first Thread in 2009.

Here some shoots from E.ON RUHRGAS IBU WORLD CUP BIATHLON in Oberhof, Germany:

I have to say you created some action in an otherwise "static" sport compared to other fast moving sports.

Good panning captures. Composition could be improved by cropping the extraneous stuff behind the skier. They are very centered. Give them somewhere in the frame to go/move to. The wiewer isn't really interested in where they've been.

These would be excellent with a little different composure. Biathlon is cool. Too bad so few in the US appreciates it.

We rarely see images from Biathlon. These are great. Gives a good idea of the speed and agility required to compete.

Nicely done!

Excellent panning - really provides a sense of speed/action.

Thankfully, I would fall down and shoot myself! The panning and colors are great. Agree with the need to leave some more open space in front of the skiers.
