Casey—Doctor, Competitive Swimmer and Nice Lady


Meet Casey.  She is a medical doctor that swam competitively in college.  In addition, she is a really nice person.  But, I hope I never see her professionally—no offense, Casey.
Here, I was trying to be a Sports Illustrated photographer—I really had no idea how hard it was to time the shot, even at 1/6000th of a second.  At the end of the shoot, I had lots of shots with nothing but water!  I guess this proves that every time you pick up the camera, something will be different.
Enjoy.
Camera settings:  Nikon D4, 70-200mm f/2.8, ISO 400, f/3.3 at 1/6000th of a second.
Post Processing:  
Lightroom 4—set white and black point and increased contrast, increased clarity, contrast and sharpness around Casey with the adjustment brush.

  1. There are several things I like about this shot. Like the action, composition, low angle and smoothness of the forground. All this with the out stretched arms leads me right back to her.
