Tri Photos

I know this topic comes up ever once in a while, but I think I got a pretty cool shot this Sunday.  The image is from FirmMan half Iron distance in Narragansett, RI about an 45 min after sun rise.  There were 4 to 7 foot swells due to a storm on Saturday night.  People were warming up and practicing diving under the waves.   The swim wasn't that bad once you got past the waves crashing down on you.  

Post some of your photos from this past season!

Here are the promo albums I shot sat and sun for the tri-state spartan race in vernon NJ: Sat: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151012134876861.417220.2... Sun: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151013113171861.417392.2... mind if I ask what auto focus settings you use. The majority of my photography is non moving objects so focus is easy. 

You seem to have nailed down the focusing pretty good for fast moving subjects.

Single point AF on cont. Cameras are both set on whatever is the highest amount of focus points. I know this slows it down a tad but with most of this the chance to frame and recompose is not there and this seems to work well enough with the subjects.

A bit part of it is just knowing the sports well and when to shoot though (at least seems that way for me)

My wife got this shot of the first wave starting in the Rev3 Maine 70.3 a few weeks ago.
