2009 Class AA Wrestling Sectionals

Gates Chili had a few wrestlers who were involved with this two day event. I received permission to shoot and got to Fairport's gym early to set up. I was split on whether to use flash or not. I decided flash in this dimly lit gym would work best. I wanted to bounce the flash but really it was impossible with four mats going at once and not sure where I was gonna be. I used pocket wizards to keep the flash off camera and kept the flash low and on the small stand that comes with the flash. This made it very easy to move as I moved from mat to mat.

Hopefully, I will be able to shoot super sectionals also since GC has two wrestlers continuing on. I took alot of photos of many different kids in the two days of wrestling. Here are some of the shots...

Hopefully some of the posts can help you in the right direction. I have no class experience in photography, mostly comes from reading forums and just practice. I still learn alot as I go, not sure if that ever ends.
