5A State Swimming Championships

Last week I photographed the 3A and 4A State Swimming Championships. This last Saturday I got the chance to photograph the 5A State Swimming Championships. It is alway so much fun watching all these athletes perform.

Just as last week I had the chance to use the new Canon Mark IV camera which is very good in low light conditions such as those at the Richards Pool at BYU where this event took place. For the techno's reading this. My exposures were ISO 2500 1/640 of a second shutter @ f 2.8 aperture.

I used three Canon lenses. A 400mm f 2.8, 70-200mm f 2.8 and 16-35mm f 2.8. I also used a Canon Mark III on some of the images, but shot @ ISO 2000 using 1/500 at f 2.8 as it is not as good in low light as the Mark IV.

Here are some of my favorite images from this event.
