roller derby

[rdking647]

went to the roller derby for the first time.
tried indoors,no flash.it was tough getting good shots,since i needed at least f2.8 and 1/200 for a shutter speed at a minumun to minimize blur.
It was my first attempt at an indoor sports event

I've been meaning to go to the roller derby for years (not even necessarily to take photos), but your photos really make me want to go. I don't know much about what the rules are, and I'm rather confused as to why there's a pillow in one shot.

Very nice shots, especially considering dark conditions and speed. Always hard to find the balance between those.

one of the penaltys involved a pillow fight :-)
i still dont know what the rules are :-) nor do i really care.. it was a hoot and a lot of "interesting" people
