I took some photos this weekend at my son's gymnastics meet and was pretty happy with the results. I find most of my shots are usually on the soft side, but these below I thought were pretty sharp. White balance was a problem (along with low light) so I tried to correct in PP. All taken with my Canon 40D and 70-200 lens. I still had to do quite a bit of cropping since parents are not allowed on the competition floor.

:thumb:thumb:thumb Well done! The WB is dead one and the exposure is good! Considering your location, etc., you should be proud of these frames!

Lighting in that facility is bad - probably the worst I've ever encountered shooting gymnastics - and you handled it well.

pretty nice images, both boys and girls. Tough to shoot up into the lights, maybe stand for these.
