Get a Kick

Wisconsin

This photo is technically off a bit. Seems focus is a little in front of my intended subject. I need to get back in practice with autofocus after about 10 years of using mainly manual focus. LOL I saw the moment and just shot without pressing the focus button. Well, the photo makes me smile, so I'm posting it anyway. In case you are wondering, I was positioned on a corner where the parade turned. That is why the girls are going one direction and the fire trucks are coming up a hill toward me.

Sony Alpha 77,Sony 16-50mm f/2.8
1/2000s f/3.2 at 50.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Oh, yeah, my kind of shot..
First cheerleaders of the season...kinda like the first robin of spring.
Hopefully another good one for my Crimson Tide...

Wonderful timing to get the kick and these expressions. Very nice with this depth of field.

Great shot, everyone seems to be having a ball.
Oh what I would give for a little bit of that sunshine.
The two girls nearest the camera can really throw their legs up in the air,
if I tried to kick my leg like that, it would probably fly off into the crowd.
