A few monthe ago my daughter joined Reading Athletics Club, last week she had her first match in the county league.

This type of thing is completely new to me, so introduced me to a whole new set of challenges. It gave me me a chance to try out, (unsuccesfully), the A1 servo on the camera: NOTE: rtfm before, not after the event :bash. and also left me with a need for big glass:D

Anyway, here are a few pictures

The hill takes its toll (or maybe it was the muffin)

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to shoot these events a few years ago and never got one this good. Great colors.

Beautiful shots Gubbs but how did she do? She finished about halfway, I think for her first time out she did very well... made me go all emotional :uhoh watching her finishing, I was so busy shouting and clapping that I forgot to get her picture.

Thanks Nir

Nice shots with great color. I dunno about your overcast statement. I don't seem to get this kind of saturation when it's overcast......lol

Congrats to your girl :clap I know she didn't win, but to even finish is an accomplishment :thumb
