Moore League Track Finals

Normally when its track season I cover several league meets, but this year I didn't cover a single one, but only came out during league finals.

This year as normal the Moore League Track Finals were held at Veteran's Stadium at Long Beach Community College.  Track has always been a sport I feel I thrive at and highly enjoy shooting.  Yes there is always something going on and can be a bit overwhelming, but the fact there is so much going on there is always something to shoot and capture the action in.

Here are my favorites from this years finals.

Track - Lakewood at Millikan

Track season has started, well actually it started last week and because I screwed up on dates I didn't shoot it, so for my track photography, well that started yesterday at Millikan High School.

Yesterday I responded to Millikan High to cover the Lakewood and Millikan track meet.

I'm know for my sports shooting, which is where I really thrive, although now a days I've been very pleased and happy with my wildlife and sunset shots, but again when it comes to sports shooting I have to say track is my favorite.

With track there is just so much going on and different ways to capture it all.  I've never been the type of guy who takes weird or very unique angles, I tend to stay with the shots that show intensity, focus, and drive that our athlete compete in.  Its not about a winning contest shot, but about in getting a shot of the athlete they can be proud of as it shows them competing with that drive, focus, and intensity.

So enjoy these shots, because I enjoyed taking them.

Lakewood Track vs Millikan

League track has officially started and my first meet finds me at Lakewood High covering the Lakewood and Millikan meet.  Although it was a bit windy it was the perfect day to be out shooting.

 

Below you find my favorites - enjoy the shots.

 

Lakewood Track vs Millikan

 The last league meet before Moore League Prelims / Finals held next week at Veteran's Stadium at Long Beach Community College.

This meet was very mild with me spending some time talking with prior students / track athlete's and the coach.  It all brings being out to another level.

This week was Lakewood vs Millikan at Millikan High.  The meet went very smooth and before I knew it, well it was over.

I really didn't focus my attention to any specific event, but simply walked about looking for action and things that caught my eye.  Simply put, it was the perfect evening to be out shooting track.

Below are my favorites from the meet as well as this composite I put together just because.  I still have a lot to learn and improve upon, but its still fun just playing and seeing what works and what doesn't work.

Love to hear your thoughts on this first image (composite).
