Description

f/1.6, 1/500, ISO-800
This might not look much like stop action, but this guy was moving! I've never done anything like this before and never exposed for really dark skin before so I wanted to add it to the lesson just because I worked so hard on this and tried to step way out of my comfort zone for this one including asking to photograph this guy working out.

Just wandred into your gallery and was stunned with this amazing photo. Your sports action shots are wonderful! This in particular because you got the skin tones spot on! This is a technique that I've been trying to work on myself and I'm a dark-skinned Cuban-American.

Great work! I'm a fan!
