Hi, Folks.
Photos of the Nationals are now on the website. Please note the
following: As usual, I was able to get a lot of some skaters, and only
a few of others. One of the main reasons for the "few of others" is the
lighting in the rink. While it looked fine in person, my camera was not
at all pleased with it. In all, I took over 1,700 photos during the
meet. Of those, there were only about 490 photos that were of
acceptable quality, that is, not too our of focus and not too dark.
Then I went through those 490 and eliminated many more, since these were
really not that acceptable either, or very similar to the shot right
next to it, like when I take several shots through a turn.
Finally I ended up with about 280 that are worthy of showing. And even
many of those took quite a bit of work in Paint Shop Pro to enhance to
the point where they were worth keeping. So that's it. 280 photos of
our skaters skating at the Nationals. I hope you enjoy them! I'll get
to captioning them shortly.
