Published sports photo

Having heard from my good fried Josh, it appears one of my recent wrestling photographs has been published by the local paper (which does not have a web site that I can find unfortunately). The photo in question would be “the switch”, which I had made a quick print copy of for Josh.

Had I known that this was going to be published, I probably would have changed the white balance on the photo, since I was shooting in AUTO during the event. I find that changing white balance is pretty easy with the digital negative (aka the RAW file).

Overall I’m flattered that it was published at all. I though the hand out of focus wasn’t great, but that it does show motion of the subject. One of the last frames I shot that night, and probably one of the best.

UPDATE: It turns out that I was not credited for the photograph. I contacted the editor to protect my copyright, and the issue has been resolved with a correction being printed.
