Description

Talk about new experiences! I was extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to obtain press credentials to the Rat City Rollergirls 2010 regular season closer. This match-up determined who would be skating for the league championship in next month's bout.

In one sense, this was a very different kind of photo shoot for me. I don't normally shoot sports and most of my subjects aren't careening around a track at high speed on roller skates! It proved to be a fun and interesting challenge. Hope to wangle access to the championship match to try my hand at it again.

This was shot with the Olympus E-3 and 50-200mm SWD Lens. Special thanks to Claw for the tips and background on roller derby!
