We were the official photographer for the 2012 MASY Synchro Challenge held in Calgary this past weekend!

Congratulations to all the swimmers who participated!

We were up in Edmonton for the Synchro Alberta Provincials competition this past weekend. This was my daughter's first out-of-town competition of the season and I figured there would be plenty of photographers around to try and capture for this week's 'Other Photographers' theme. I noticed a couple of them opted to shoot from the diving platforms above the pool – one on the 3m and the other on the 5m. Not sure if I could have done that myself. Not really because of the height, but because I'd be too paranoid of leaning forward just a little too far and falling in.

I'm a little late with this post, but I've been knee deep in processing photos from my daughter's recent synchro competitions over the last little while. This has been keeping me pretty busy and away from being online very much. I've had some 3,000+ photos to work my way through, and that's just the events my daughter was in! With a little bit of a break this weekend, I thought I would post a quick preview of a shot of her being flipped during her team routine.

This week's Project52 theme was 'Signs'. I took a number of photos throughout the week of various signs around town, but ultimately decided on this one that I took on the weekend while we were at my daughter's second synchro competition in as many weeks. I was hoping to catch a swimmer in a move similar to what was on the sign, but I guess they don't fall backwards very much. :)

For this week's Project52 theme, 'Eyes', I chose this shot of my daughter swimming. She is a national level synchronized swimmer and had her first competition of the season this weekend. Of course, I was on-hand shooting a lot of the action and caught this one of her during her solo routine. She's doing a spin with her hand in the water, which creates the curtain of water as she goes. I'm glad I was able to catch it so that she can be seen peeking through a gap in the splash.
