Rhythmische Sportgymnastik / Rhythmic Gymnastics

This folder, will no doubt take up most of my time as , this sport has become a fairly major part of my life, due to both of my daughters being actively involved in it. To get a sharp, well exposed and good photo set up is, during a competition, nigh on impossible. Even allowing for the fact that my camera feels like a part of me, the sport is so fast and extremely difficult to photograph. Occasionally if the gymnasium is fairly well lit I'll rely on the cameras own TV programme but usually I prefer to work , manually. The settings can differ completely from one side of the carpet to the other.

of Presov in the Slovakei. Performs here with the hoop at the 1st International City Cup in Düsseldorf , Germany. Here she shows her End pose having just completed the required 90 second performance. Despite an almost flawless performance she eventually finished 7th in this discipline, due to the stiff competition that she had.
