Shots from the 2008 Wheelchair Nationals/Sunshine Classic are up on the site.
I’m quite happy with the shots, for the seat I chose. I put a lot of the things that I learned at the February RMSP seminar up in Jacksonville to good use.
The giant white CJ banner fouled the white balance in the shots if a competitor moved, or was placed, entirely in front of it. Most shots I shot slightly off-center to keep a certain portion of the banner in the frame for white balance, then cropped it out in post-processing.
I left the show early.
More specifically, I had to leave before the prejudging was complete because I had other obligations. The show started an hour late, and ran at a pace I can only call moderate to slow. No useful explanation was forthcoming for anything.
Maybe I was grumpy because it bumped lunch so far back, or maybe I’ve been spoiled by really well-run shows of late, but after a while it gets to feel just plain insulting– and I’m *used* to a bit of delay, Bob only knows what the first-time spectators thought.
Everyone got shots, though, and I got to my next stop on time.
