Sports Photography

I don't post many photos to this blog twice, but this one was submitted to a competition yesterday and I thought I would share it with you one more time. This is the photo that is currently on my home screen of my iPod and it's been there for quite some time. I love many things about this photo including the composition, the lighting, the show of talent, the show of strength, and the fact that it's my son.

High Bar Determination

The sport of gymnastics really has a lot to offer for youths (By the way I can't type that word "youths" without thinking of the way it was said in the movie My Cousin Vinnie, Youts, Yuts, Youths). The sport provides strength, determination, sportsmanship, flexibility, friendship, and the spirit of competition. Here is one such youth from last weekend who was exercising his determination to complete the high bar event.

High Bar Grips

One theme that I have been incorporating in my gymnastics photography this year is to focus on the hands and where they meet the aparatus. This shot is a boy on the high bar at a gymnastics meet this past weekend.
