Many people have asked me technical questions so here is my setup: For this shoot I used my Canon 5D set at ISO 200 and my Canon 70-200 f2.8L IS lens.
I used Norman monolights and a combination of soft boxes and spectral diffusers depending on the shot. The lights have a speed of 1/1200 sec so they will stop most of the movement on the jumps.
My camera feeds a laptop with a great screen so the RAW shots go directly to Adobe Photoshop Bridge where
I evaluate them immediately and make adjustments to lighting etc. Post-processing is in CS3.

If you think this gallery has merit, please vote so others may enjoy these young artist-athletes!
