"Cheer"

A co-worker and friend of my wife's has three daughters who are in cheer and they had a competition this last Saturday & Sunday. I had nothing going on Sunday so I thought I go out and take some pictures for her and her daughters.

I knew I was going to get there somewhat late and that seating would be limited so I only brought my 300 f/2.8 to provide me with the added range I thought I'd need. As it turned out even with the crowd I wasn't too far away. So since I had the beast with me and they were just a bit too close to get the action of cheer, I thought I concentrate on the expressions the girls display during their routine.

I shoot all of these with the camera set on manual, ISO 3200, f/2.8, and 1/250 to 1/320. I am very pleased with the noise level and look of these. Enjoy.

Here's a shot of the three girls. I really like this shot and I'm sure their mom will just love it.
