Youth Wrestling

Here are some pictures of my son from this past weekend's wrestling tournament. It was the first time I've use my relatively newly obtained used 70-200 2.8L for wrestling. It was like a dungeon in the gym and I ended up having to use a flash (I only have the on camera flash). I shot in RAW and then did some post processing trying to fix the white balance. A lot of the shots even after processing still have a yellowish hue to the wrestlers skin that I can't seem to get rid of. The gym walls were painted yellow and there were yellow lines on the mats so I'm not sure if they were giving off reflections. My son's skin is very white in real life so even though the flash whitens him up, its not too far off his skin color.

#1 Lost this match 8-7


#2 Won by technical fall (13-1)


#3


#4 Won match by pin (setup by this headlock)


#5 Pin after the headlock above


#6 Loss to the champion (5-2), shows where his gymnastics training helps out


Thanks for looking!

Stephanie, not bad!, I would make one suggestion, get down on the floor (if you can) and take pics, the angle from above is hard to visualize. Much better if you are at their level...
