WTF?

Having taken a decent amount of shots of the the 2 major disciplines and one of the popular games of footbag, I must say that Net is the most dynamic IMHO. Players getting up, going sideways and jousting in the air is just awesome. Freestyle is a very close second. Oddly enough my eye is drawn towards the twisting and the contortions; the weirder the better. Perfect form may do well in comps but it seems to bore the hell outta me. 4-square almost seems like it was not meant to be photographed. It's just boring as shit. At least with Net you get players up and spiking in between countless outside kicks. Symposium moves look great especially after you've captured dozens of clipper and toe stalls. But Squares is just kicking. Not much fun to take pics of.

EDIT:
almost forgot...

The woman is named Katja, I believe that's how it's spelled. She is in Washington Square Park.

She is very nice. The union square one has Wasabi looking at one of my closest friends from high school (bearded) Harry.

Awesome!

I have a slightly larger version of this pic too (and not compressed by facebook - 3168 x 2373 pixels - and that's the cropped version. Yeah my camera is awesome).

Not amazing quality because it was cloudy but I still wanted to taking photos at the fastest shutter speed (1/8000) so that it looked crisp and so that the continuous shooting mode would be fastest, so I had the ISO turned up pretty high. Still, being this big (and this is cropped) gives you a lot to work with - this was taken as a jpeg and isn't post processed at all (apart from cropping), but no doubt when I feel more comfortable with the camera I'll start taking them in raw and cleaning them up a little

I'm hitting superfly by the way.

edit; Actually it's a bit over exposed because the sun came out just as I took this. I have a couple of better pics except I dropped the bag in those

. I'll post them up tomorrow when I'm not drunk.
