Paul,
Fantastic expressions. Such a greatt job with the lighting too.
But I thing you needed to get even lower on the mat for shot #1. jK ;-)

It's all about the facial expressions and you got 'em in spades. Fantastic.

Thanks for all the postive feedback guys.

KF & Matt... I had 4 AB800s about 20-30 feet of the mat and bounced off the ceiling to shoot 2 mats.

cameraguy... you make a great point. Kids on the bottom give you more face, but they are on the losing end, so it's a tough sell.

Love #10. Reminds of the look that Bruce Lee gave before doing in his opponent.

looking good Paul,

The one thing out of many that make your photos really stand out to me is the eyes they are crisp,sharp,etc

These are wonderful.

How are sales of this kinda thing?

From matside, what sort of focal length will get you full body shots?

Thanks for sharing!

Dennis... I'm not privy to the sales side of things since I'm contracted by a company and they handle the sales. One thing worth noting with this focal length, whereas a lens like 70-200 is more likely to get both wrestlers in the focal plane, not so with a 200-400. The DoF is much thinner. Therefore, I need to be more conscious of who I'm focusing on.

They are all just awesome. Love the close ups. I agree that the faces at this age really make the shots.

Great job!

Paul, #9 rocks. I'm sure that sold (if the parents knew it was there).

Now, tell me ... what kind of looks did you get from the parents/spectators when you are sitting next to the mat holding one of THOSE lenses?

Paul brings out the 200-400 just to make sure people know he's not a GWAC.

You know, every time I think I am improving, I look at a new post you have here. It is then I realize how badly I suck!!! Thanks for making sure I don't get an ego . . . and making me realize how far I really have to go. Spectacular set.

Great shots Paul!!

The only way to sell wrestling pictures is to give them something different, and I'm sure that the parents have never seen anything like this before at a wrestling meet.

Well done!

Great shots Paul. I would never have considered a FL that long for wrestling and you make it shine. You're always showing us a new way to make your photos stand out in the crowd.

I tried to hold off from posting on this as long as I could, but I just can't go any longer without saying what's on my mind.

These are simply amazing. One day, I hope my shots are half as good as these are.
