I thought it would be fun to try my hand at some weightlifting photography using the 70-200 f/2.8 lens. These are photos I took at the meet and it was a lot of fun. Since I've lifted in several meets myself, it definitely helped to be able to anticipate what was going to happen. One thing I learned was be ready after a lifter's 3rd attempt, because that would be the best moment to catch a PR and any spontaneous celebration that happens after!

I attended the women's session and got photos of all those lifters, plus some of the men from the second session (mostly Team Spartacus but also a few others.) I do this as a hobby and don't mind sharing photos, but I do ask that you let me know if you use any and always provide a photo credit listing me as the photographer. These are low-resolution photos, not suitable for printing (only 72 dpi), but I'm happy to provide hi-res versions on request (a photo credit is all I ask.)
