Few fencing shots

Nikolai

We had another fencing session on Saturday, and I wanted to share a few pictures with you guys:

"When I grow up...":


Sometimes even a simple foil may look menacing..


Touchee!


From time to time it's nice to fence outside!


The next moment the sabre of the guy on the right will hit hard his opponent's mask and break in three!


The rest of the pictures:

Enjoy shooting and fencing!

Looks great! Love the head-on foil shot.

You might want to bump your shutter speed up a bit for the action shots though, they're not out of focus, they just look a bit blurred...

Thanks for stopping by!

It was my mistake . I started to shoot at ISO1600, which, from the prior experience, proved itself worthy in these conditions. I took just a few shots and we procedeed outdoors, so I switched to ISO400. And when we got back inside I forgot to switch ISO setting:bash , so 90% of the pictures COULD be have been taken with much faster speed.
Oh well, there will be another Saturday :duel:-)
Cheers!
