Wow, you may have the best jOb on earth

I'll be honest- it was both sleazy and challenging.

I'm calling Mike Rowe - of "Dirty Jobs"

yeah that. haha

Perverts!

Such a polite looking crowd.

Though contrast is a little high for my tastes. #4 is really quite a nice portrait, nice skin tone, a little catchlight in her eyes would be good though.

Looks like everyone had a good time

Needless to say, the lighting was less than optimal.

Those exposed tungsten bulbs as seen in the first image- that's what I had to work with. And only in two of the shots above did I use flash. The rest were taken at f/1.4, iso 3200.

That short haired "gal" in number 6 looks like she would flunk the hormone test. Or was this open to both genders?

That is what I would call an inter-gender match. Yes, one of the participants has a winky.

I laughed at how the spectators are sitting and placement of hands .

This can hardly be called a sport though, i put in a similar category as a couple of 12 year olds having a punch up , surrounded by on lookers.

Not to worry redal, I wouldn't call it a "sport" in the strictest sense of the word, either. I do however shoot boxing, kickboxing, and MMA, as well as a bit of "traditional martial arts", seminars, and sparring/practice/training sessions. I've gotta say though, this thread has a lot more followers than my usual subjects.

Haha, JAson, a bit different than your usual works.

Glad to see you're still shooting MMA. I was supposed to shoot another last Thursday, but the event was post poned last minute. I got 2 more definite shows lined up this year.

Good stuff!

Thanks.

Well, I started my Combat Sports career shooting MMA, and did a few boxing events towards the beginning as well. Then it was strictly MMA for over a year, and I also started picking up kickboxing dates, so it was both kickboxing and MMA. Finally, after a 2 year hiatus from boxing, I started picking up boxing events, but no MMA dates for almost a year. This year I've shot quite a few boxing and kickboxing events, but only one straight MMA card. Basically, I pick up whatever comes my way, and unfortunately it hasn't been a whole lot of MMA as of late, though I did break a 1 year streak.

Somehow I don't get the same effect from these... haha.
