8 country tournament, Groningen 05/03/2003

These pictures are taken before the all around.
They are all taken with a Canon ESO 10D and Signal 70-200/2.8. The lighting was bery bad for action shoots. Even with the camera set to ISO 1600 I only got a shutter speed of 1/180 to 1/350. In combination with the very "friendy" stuff it was neary impossible for anybody without an accreditation to take good action photos. So I stayed with poses on bars. Did I mention that it was impossible to walk around beside of the podium and to take some fotos from there?
Oh, just if someone who has been there is reading this. I'm not talking about the competition time where lots of the spectators were running around and hindering everybody who wanted to watch the competition instead of doing something useless like having a cup of coffee. I'm simply talking about the warming up on saturday where everybody was running around. But just standing for some seconds beside the podium with camera in your hand wasn't possibe (excapt you were a friend of the stuff).
