This was the first time I have photographed Roller Derby.
I really enjoyed it although it was a bit difficult at first as these girls move so fast! Had to figure out the best angel to shoot from...and that ended up being catching them as they corner the ring.
I had a few hundred images but these were some of my favorites as most are of the Tampa Bay Derby Darlins aka Tampa Tantrums whom of course won the State Championship! So I had to support the girls :) I am looking forward to shooting them again.
wow, that looks so intense, I gotta give those women some credit, and I love Love LOve LOVe LOVE how you ended the photos, hope you're not offended, but personally I would have finished with 14, HUGZ RULE!!!!! I MISS HUGGING, I NEED A HUG!!!!! :o(, I'll be aight, lol
Great shots, Dawn... it's really an amazing event to witness live... I can't imagine trying to catch it on film! HAHAHA!! You've done an exceptional job, I must say! 8D
Great job with the roller derby girls! I have to say they are very colorful, aren't they? I love how you caught the emotions so well. The one with the little girl and her mom was priceless!
