[Disclaimer: if you aren't a photography nut like me, you might want to skip this post.]
Really, I'm not sure I can admit how many photos I take at a track meet and still respect myself. My excuse used to be that I had to shoot a lot so I could be sure some would be in focus. (YOU try photographing kids whipping by you!) But my new Nikon D300 just seems to know exactly what I want to focus on and there are hardly any pictures to discard for this reason. Now, I just love being able to play with my 200mm or 300mm zoom lenses, figure out where to stand to get the best lighting, shoot on Continuous mode so that I can pick my favorite expression, etc. I know, I know... it's a disease! *Ü*
(Just fyi, these pictures were taken at Sectionals this week, with Burnt Hills taking 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the 3200m race and going on to win the meet.)
