[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This weekend there is an invitational track meet in Berkeley. College athletes from various colleges compete in track and field events.

Photographically there were two challenges for me. The first was to capture movement and the feeling of the events and the second was to capture the people who are so incredible looking.

This shot was a panning shot at 1/250 sec which was fast enough to freeze some of the action but slow enough to leave enough motion blur in other parts to show the movement.

There was background clutter including a man standing to the right of the subject who was removed using the clone tool.

This is defenitely a goo shot:) I see the motion and tension in her muscles. It would be great also to see spactators as a background;)
Thank You for sharing,

Hello Roger.

You`ve exceeded well with the panning. Slightly blurred at the shoes of this sporter.
Good composition, pov, colours and sharp all the way.
TFS.

I have yet to learn how to use the clone tool :) You really capture the motion here well. A very strong athelete! TFS

Hi, Roger!

Fantastic moment! Excellent composition and nice colours.

Ildiko

Great image, Roger. You accomplished your goal of capturing both the subject and the energy of movement well. Her facial expression and musculature are sharply shown. The feet and background, blurred, not to mention the fact that she is floating in mid-air, convey plenty of motion. The light works to your advantage. Well done.

Roger
Great action shot. The panning is tops. Colour and sharpness show all the deatil you need to see.

Hi Roger,
Wonderful action shot with this performer seen in stiking details and focus as she strains for that final inch in her exciting jump. Great clarity and sharpness to this beauty.
Regards, Tom

Good pan. I like the compo with the subject leaving negative space behind her.
