The winner

January 28, 2011

My only assignment this evening was to get a standalone shot of the action from a Cheyenne South-Rawlins wrestling match. I walked into the gym to find the lights out with a single light hanging about 10 feet over the mat. My first thought was “sweet, dramatic light.” This eventually ended up being “oh (fudge), I can’t shoot action in this light.” Wrestlers (like hockey players) don’t look up very often, making my job pretty hard since that’s where the main light was. I ended up staying for the entirety of the match ups, but this was the best shot I produced:
