Congratulations from the Coach!

This weekend we travelled to see my daugher (girl on the left) compete in a 'Tae Kwan Do' Tournament.
Although a tad violent for my taste :o) the combatants emerged quite unscathed and seemed to have
a lot of fun. The discipline of the sport requires that punches and kicks be 'pulled' and fall short.

Photographing the event was a challenge.
I didn't like the effect of a flash and opted for the ambient light (florescent)
with the WB set accordingly and the ISO at 1600.I used a 24-120 and a 70-300 zoom
but definitely could have used a faster lens.
