Today was the first event of the year for the Mid Lancs League, held at the Wigan Arena.

I've never done track and field before and was not sure what I would end up with, so I'm pleased with the shots I got. I've a lot to go through but here is one from each discipline.

Great shots for first time event :clap: I would be more than pleased with these.

Good choice of settings used and I cant believe the quality of the last image at ISO 1000 :thumbs:


By the way, thats a good copyright image with the faded yellow background, as it stands out but does not detract from the image.

Great shots, that last 1 is very good and has so much detail and captures the action so well... Bet your chuffed with yourself especially as it was your first go.:thumbs:

what lens were you using?

what lens were you using?

Either a EF 70-200 L f2.8 IS or EF-S 17-55 f2.8 IS
The last one was with the EF-S, which I'm very pleased with considering the ISO and only 5 FPS on the 30D

All of them great shots, but really like the last one - froze the action nicely.
