Touché!

   Posted by: fmeehan   in Kids, Photography, Sport

This picture was taken in Valleyfield, a few weeks ago, during the qualifications for “les jeux du Québec”.

As the organizer allowed me to get close to the action, I choose to use my faithful 50 mm lens. That way I had plenty of light and was able to use a decent shutter speed (1/500 of a second) to freeze the movement.

Nikon D90
Exposition : 1/500
Ouverture : f/2.4
ISO: 1000
Longueur focale : 50 mm (75 en DX)
Aperture, Topaz Denoise 3 et Detail, Nik ColorEfex pro

Bad news… My D90 is in a bad shape, the rough landing on the sidewalk was damaging. The base of the body is cracked. No DSLR for at least 3 weeks. And the invoice might be hard to swallow.

As I said before, photography is a dangerous sport, this time the wallet will be the victim.

A young fencer in action during the last “Jeux du Québec” at Valleyfield P.Q., last Saturday (January 16 2010) at the Sainte-Cécile center.

Wonderful moments camera on hand, among the young competitors practicing their noble sports

Nikon D90
Exposure : 1/90
Aperture : f/5.6
ISO: 1000
Focal length : 105 mm (157en DX)
Aperture, Topaz Denoise 3 and Detail, Nik ColorEfex pro and Sharpener Pro

I took a couple of beautiful shots that day, that I will publish in the next few days.

An excellent photograph from Flickr, Sylvain Mercier, was on site as a volunteer. A million thanks to you Sylvain!
