Advertisement Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Hi psquared, Take a look here Testing for a Black Belt. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
andybarton Posted July 5, 2007 Share #2 Posted July 5, 2007 I wonder why this hasn't had a single response? Talk about perfect timing! My son will love this (Isn't this fellow testing for a black tag on his red belt, btw?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psquared Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted July 6, 2007 Thank you, Andy. I lucked out with the timing. I thought he was testing for the black belt, but I could be wrong. He does have a couple of black tabs on his red belt already. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted July 6, 2007 Share #4 Posted July 6, 2007 The way that the belt system works is shown on my son's collection here http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/sports-leisure-time/28174-sons-progress.html This guy will be up for a black stripe down the middle of the red belt, then a black.

elansprint72 Posted July 6, 2007 Share #5 Posted July 6, 2007 So the guy jumps up with his leg out and another fellow tries to trap his foot between two pieces of timber? Good shot, like the contribution from the background folks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psquared Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted July 6, 2007 So the guy jumps up with his leg out and another fellow tries to trap his foot between two pieces of timber? Yup. When you are a black-belted master, you can trap a flying guy's foot with two pieces of wood board. If you can do that with chopsticks, you're a grand master. Thanks, Pete.

macos Posted July 6, 2007 Share #7 Posted July 6, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am mostly impressed about the timing and the freezing of the moment. Great sharpness and crystal clear colors. This is an advertisement for this sport. Congrats Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted July 6, 2007 Share #8 Posted July 6, 2007 It's Ed, Andy's son here - Dad was wrong, this fella is going for his black belt, they just have a different marking system on their belts to us Nice flying side kick though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted July 6, 2007 Share #9 Posted July 6, 2007 Yup. When you are a black-belted master, you can trap a flying guy's foot with two pieces of wood board. If you can do that with chopsticks, you're a grand master. Thanks, Pete. Peter A really good capture Peter. Azzo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamey Posted July 7, 2007 Share #12 Posted July 7, 2007 Excellent capture, especially for a Manual focus camera. What I am starting to notice is that images taken with the DMR look so much like film. Well done. Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psquared Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share #13 Posted July 7, 2007 Thank you, Ken. I think it is actually easier for a manual focus lens in this instance, because I knew exactly where the person was going to be. I focused on the boards and just waited until he broke them to press the shutter release. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest localplayer Posted July 8, 2007 Share #14 Posted July 8, 2007 the timing and focus are great so the picture works. try thinking thru the background next time--you really only have two choices in this case--shoot low and use more sky or shoot from much higher and use what grass you can. option three is open your lens all the way to drop out more of the disturbing stuff. anyway, his parents would love the shot.

psquared Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share #15 Posted July 8, 2007 Bob, Thanks for your comments. I really didn't have any other options for the angle of the shot. I was sitting on the grass in the front row, so I couldn't stand up, and I physically couldn't go any lower. I could have opened up the aperture more. I just wasn't too confident about the focus on the face, as I had the lens pre-focused on the boards, so I wanted to give myself for some more wiggle room.
