Track and Field

Saturday was a bright spring day in Wichita. We were down on a family visit and found out that a track meet was taking place at one of the local colleges. My son competed in this meet during his college days, so he and I went to watch and photograph the competition. Here are some images of the day

Steeplechase

Photogeek information: D7000 body, 70-200mm f/2.8 (ver. I), polarizing filter. Manual mode with shutter speed fixed at 1/1000, various f-stops based on desired depth of field. Used Auto ISO to control the exposure for the chosen shutter speed/f-stop combination. The max ISO was set at 1600, and the range of values for these photos are 180 to 1600. First time I have tried this approach and it worked well.
