This weekend has been filled with lots of sports. Of course, I'm not participating in any of them, but standing (or sitting) awkwardly next to ridiculously well-built athletic machines and taking photos of them. Most of them barely clothed.
I think my favorite sport to shoot is diving. Not because of the barely any clothing thing, but because the photos come out so... strange. I think you'll see what I mean. I'm starting to enjoy shooting sports more and more now because I'm noticing that I can capture things that you would never see just watching the game. Catch moments that happen in a split second and are then gone (so dramatic, I know). Enjoy.
The NCAA Division 2 Swimming and Diving National Championships were held at the Rec Center this weekend (lots of capital letters in that sentence). These are some of them.
This goon was our "half-time show" on Friday night. He tried to juggle three oranges from the highest level of the diving tower. Failed. So he just jumped. And died. Not really.
These next shots are from the NCCS basketball tournament held at the Rec Center.
I think my shutter started to close before I could catch all of the light from my strobe, but I still like the perspective.

So many good ones in this post!
Very nice post! I love the bird-eye view diving shots.
in the next to the last & last diving shots, look at the people in the background- nobody's watching!! How sad! All that effort and nobody sees.........
