I would post your best shots anyway. I think most people keep in mind that there are varying levels of skill in this forum.

Flipping through threads like this inspire me and make me a better photographer. I will be posting my best from this year later on.

Something must be wrong with my browser Paul, it seems to have omitted your thread kick-off images / submissions.

I'll take a swing at it! This is the end of my first year as a staff photog at a daily paper, so I got a lot of practice. Here's to a great year, and many more games to come.

Trust me when I tell you this... post em! You'll love looking back years from now and watching your evolution as a shooter through the years. We all had our "first best of" at some point.

Agree. Love the angles and the fact you stepped out of your comfort zone and took a risk with panning hurdlers... great job.

Thanks Paul for starting this thread. I love this thread as a chance to see what others see, learn from them and steal some ideas.

This has been a fun sports year for me as I shot a lot of fun stuff, from NCAA Tournament Basketball, NCAA Football (some really good teams like Oklahoma came to town), and my son started playing HS football as a Junior after taking a couple of years off and my daughter played and started in nearly every soccer game as a Freshman. So, the narrowing down to 5 was extremely tough. And these may not be my technically best 5, but they mean something to me.

1. Just like the action and colors in this one.
2. TN had Oklahoma on the ropes, but could not finish it out, eventually leaving Oklahoma a chance to win it all.
3. The end of the high school football season can and for most, means the end of a career.
4. Debated about this one. In the end, the girl "plays" with fire. Pretty cool.
5. Not a great image, but here I am shooting my son's second game of the season and they are losing a game they should be winning. His team scores and goes on to try a 2pt conversion. I am shooting and pretty oblivious to who is on the field. Normally, he plays defensive end and only plays tight end rarely. I miss the fact that he lines up near me and for some reason the QB throws to him. He makes a nice catch, gets hit hard and is driven backwards but has already broken the plane and gets the score. He rolls over and we make eye contact and somehow I keep on shooting and some seconds later realize it is my son. His first points of his HS career. I got the whole series of the catch, the hit, etc, but the making of the eye contact makes it a keeper for me.

Some very strong images so far. I really hate to follow them, but here I go. I tried to grab an image from each sport I covered this year.

1. AAA baseball, Memphis Redbirds local boy Jacob Wilson with the one hand grab.
2. Bartlett HS soccer that the goalie had a one hand save.
3. First game of the year for Bartlett basketball and the power forward doing what he does best.
4. This kids first reception of the year and he took it to the house.
5. Just because he is my favorite soccer player of all time.

1. Canon EOS 5D Mark III, f/3.2 @ 400 mm, 1/2500, ISO 5000

It won't win any awards, but it's my favorite from this year.

Other than the shots posted that were taken with the D3S, did everyone else use a 1Dx?

Not that it matters but there are a some 1D IV's, 5D III's and some Nikon D4 shots (Skogis)

I will be putting up shots with Nikon when I get through mine, I know Paul (the OP) is or was a Nikon guy the last time I checked.

Trevorma - thanks. I have a bunch of water polo shots, but they were taken with an ancient Sony a900. Was thinking of posting but don't want to be the odd man out.

My daughter JUST started playing water polo... I've taken pictures at one meet so far and can't find anything on FM related to polo.

So please post 'em up!

TrojanHorse,

Let me look through them. Here in Miami I don't have the luxury of shooting the big boys and girls from the US National team who regularly hold "friendly" competitions in California, or the collegians who will ultimately comprise the USA National Water Polo team, at the NCAAs. You can always buy tickets to the friendlies and the NCAA games. Follow USA Water Polo on twitter.

Up there in Whittier, your college team is very good. You should see if you can get permission from the coach to take a few pics to get your bearings at a speedier game. Unless your equipment is good, you are a skillfull photographer, or you know the game, your first shots will be nasty.

I will send you a PM with one caveat when shooting water polo.

Mikal
