for #3, yeah he was real close to me. lucky i could still focus n whack few shots before stepping back.

else ... dunno what'll happen. i was standing few feet away from the crowd. my 1st attempt shooting sports, and frisbee too. darn fast game, phew, came home with an aching arm (coz no monopod) but lucky i was using my sigma 70-300 which is light n compact.

used aperture priority mode, f4 to f5.6. ISO 600 to 800. was a pretty cloudy/gloomy day. WB set to cloudy.

no, i did not use a flash.

oooh wow! great! 2 more weekends huh? buy more sunblock & rest more man. hehe. same place again?

willyfoo · 29th June 2004

No... different place... not consecutive weekends too

sensires · 29th June 2004

nice series

... great sense of timing in capturing the shots ... think there's room for improvement on framing - e.g. #2, would leaving some room on the right convey a sense of movement better? - a thought

definitely a commendable first try
