Lovely captures Steve, she certainly looks at home doing gymnastics 
A real shame you had to work under those constraints.
I like them all, a real shame you were the wrong side on the first and the inconsiderate people got in your way on the 3rd :thumbsdown:
As for the second, i really like it, not quite frozen which i think would have been better but you have the concentration well captured,
Not a bad job under the circumstances
Best wishes

your right, although I wasn't wrong side, she is just awkward and leads with the wrong side . I got a great one of her friend on beam doing the same move but coming towards me but I cant post without her parents permission.
It was challenging, but for a first trip out I am quite happy. Looking forward to future comps.
Thanks for the feedback

Tugster.
Canon 550d with Canon 85mm f1.8.
Beam - Shot in manual, f2.0 1600 iso 1/800 AI Servo AF
Floor - f2.2 3200ISO 1/1250.
To be honest I could have knowcked the ISO down on the Floor shots at the expense of the the shutter speed, but we live and learn. the reason I went up to f2.2 was to give me slightly more DOF to make the focussing a bit less of an issue. Not sure if this was the right thing to do but it made sense at the time.
It took some of the vault and bars, but I was miles away. I used a 70-200f4L but it was just a bit too slow. I will post later.
As I said, this place was a night mare to shoot due to the fact I couldn't move around. The viewing area is basically a cafe behine a double glazed window.
Cheers
Steve
