I saw in the local paper during the week that there was an athletics meeting on in Hamilton this week - ANZ Grand Prix, round 5, aka the "Porritt Classic". Seen as both Mel and I enjoy athletics and we live just a couple of hundred metres down the road from the stadium, we decided to head down for an afternoon of athletics. A number of NZ's best athletes were there, including Nick Willis (Olympic 1500m silver medallist) and Nikki Hamblin (Comm Games 800m and 1500m silver).I had lots of fun trying to get photos of people who were moving very quickly, with

mixed results! High jump was easiest to catch photos of, seen as you know exactly where they're going to be, and they're easy to follow in their run-up. Somethinglike the 400m was almost impossible - they come round

even harder. For the sprints I set up near the start, so managed to get a handful of decent enough shots. Anyway, I took about 300 photos, so there's plenty more than these
that have yet to be processed. They'll turn up at flickr in due course, as usual!
