Ready to Rumble

While my mind is overflowing with ideas for 100, today I tried my hand at an entirely new type of photography - sports. One of our family friends was competing in a wrestling tournament and I offered to shoot some photos at the event. Sharon and I arrived around 1pm to find the gymnasium packed with people. It was a little overwhelming at first, but we each staked out different spots and soon began shooting away.

The fast action involved in shooting sports offered up its own unique challenges and it took a little while to get the hang of things. Once the technical challenges were figured out, I had a really good time shooting and enjoyed seeing the passion the athletes displayed in the competition. Below are some of my favorites from the photos we took today and you can view all of the photos we took at the event at this link.
