USA Water Polo Junior Olympics
Hello Water Polo fans!
Though I was not the official photographer, I attended the USA Water
Polo Junior Olympics from Saturday July 24 to Tuesday July 27 to practice sports
photography with water polo. This is the first time I actually had seen
water polo being played, and I certainly left with more of an appreciation of
the difficulty of the sport. I also found taking good action photos to be
quite challenging as well. (and I thought swimmers at a swim meet splashed
a lot!) I thought everyone played a good, hard, and honest game.
Congratulations to all participants!
