My first convincing sports portrait, a picture that made me decide to explore sports and athletics photography a bit more. In athletics the emotions are shown only after the action, but this captures it nicely, in the warm evening sun. I have good memories of this day. It was a very nice outing with famlily and friends. Photographically it was special because it was my first time renting a professional 70-200 lens capable of producing smooth backgrounds as shown here. I can recommend that to anyone doing photography for a special occassion and lacking the money to buy those lenses.
