2006 Galleries

Flrunners.com MS T&F State Championship 2006 : 714 photos have been uploaded. Having trouble navigating all these photos? You might try changing the gallery "style" (top right) to "all thumbs." Once you click on a thumnail of interest, you might switch to "journal" style. That'll give you a group with any captions I've put up.
You may calculate splits using each photo's exif data, simple subtraction.

Welcome to our Flrunners.com community guests! Thanks Jason, for that link from this page:
http://www.milesplit.com/article/9582
Folks, please be aware these shots are posted free for your viewing pleasure. If you don't have a photo ink jet printer, by all means buy from the SmugMug folks - they're great. (I don't receive compensation from any of your purchases, though I could set it up that way.) If you wish to give a donation, how 'bout support Jason's kid-based effort here:
http://flrunners.milesplit.com/donations.php
I will, as always, run out of steam before captioning many of these 714 shots. I'm doing some splits, but you may figure your own (and check my math) by using each photo's exif data.
Feel free to email (don't hide your identity) if you have any positive ID/info you'd like me to add.

These entities have played an important role in raising the interest level of kids in the sport, as well as attracting and keeping new kids involved.
Bolles School's Dan Dearing has been at the race day helm from the beginning.
These guys, and the rest of the cast of volunteers deserve way more thanks than I can begin to give here.
In a time when Grumpy and Misguided Old Men in charge of our state's scholastic athletics are doing their best to drive kids away from the sport, these folks show 'em how to treat kids with respect. Jason and Dan have the priorities straight. But maybe that's just my opinion.

2006 FHSAA 1A Track & Field Finals : 642 shots from the FRIDAY competition at Wolfson HS, Jacksonville, FL. No, I didn't have to change to my spare battery. Once Nikon's camera/lens durability catches up to their battery technology, they'll really be on to something.
We got back to Tallahassee around noon. About 20M east of Tallahassee, I realized I've got a slight problem. I left my computer back in Jax. Doh! Nice Sunday afternoon drive over and back to retrieve it. Thanks to Baymeadows Inn & Suites for holding it for me! Btw, Droze even caught a bunch of polluted bass from the holding pond for the kids to eat. I keed, I keed!
http://www.triumphtheinsultcomicdog.com/ PG-13: lighten up, he's a ventriloquist's rubber dog
If I'd known for sure that Wolfson had wireless internet, I could have finished the photo upload while watching the 2A finals. Sorry 'bout that!

Night shots were the usual pain. No "endzone" lights in the facility, finish line area not accessible/beyond the grandstands (it's a football stadium with a track around it, as per normal), camera glitches had me switching lenses to even an old 50 1.8 way up in the bleachers, arrgh. Posting everything anyway, regardless. Perhaps you'll find something with you or yours. Have fun!

I do want to compliment the folks actually managing the 1A finals, aka "putting on the meet and coordinating the help." The meet stayed on or ahead of schedule, hurdle crew was awesome (my favorite volunteer job), predictions of disaster were thankfully incorrect. Sure, some frills could be added, the venue is not ideal for track, but given the reality of the situation, these folks did a Larry the Cable Guy: Got-R-Done!

2006 FHSAA Region 1A-1 Track & Field Meet : 570 photos from this qualifier meet held at the (Tallahassee) Chiles HS track. Evening photos were hardly worth posting, quality-wise. I tweaked 4509-4547, as I'd left the ISO at 200 for those. Went ahead and posted everything, as I figure if it's you or yours, it's of some value.

gdroze@maclay.org

Something over 200 photos from the SATURDAY, 8 April, 2006 meet at Maclay School.
A rather unique event, co-hosted by Trinity Catholic, Holy Comforter, and Community Christian Schools. Tons of parental involvement, several scattered rain showers, and lots of happy kids!
Beginning with the 214th photo in this gallery, I've included ~35 compressed photos with raw scores/results from the various events.

Maclay Girls' 4X8 at Challenge of Champions : 113 shots of a Maclay girls' 4X800m relay squad's trip to the Mobile, AL "Challenge of Champions" Invitational Meet.
I did attempt to get photos of nearly all the competitors during that one race. So if you were in it, enjoy! By all means, email me any POSITIVE ID (like relay order) for your team members.
There's a "photo gap" between 800m legs 3-4 due to camera problems. That's between photos 3313-3314, a ~1:30 gap.
I may add race video a bit later. Scratch the vid idea. Can't show more than maybe 30 seconds of MPEG-1 with the 8MB limit.

Bolles T&F Bulldog Classic 2006 : 855 shots taken before/during/after the meet are now posted. Files numbered 1061-1377 are highly compressed after processing. I may reload some of them at higher resolution. Meanwhile, if you calculate splits from exif data on these, be sure to work from the time taken/digitized, NOT the time modified. Otherwise, you'll get some world record splits!
I've quick Photoshopped (yes, it's a verb now) many of the really dark shots. Somebody yell at me to change my white balance when we get under the lights, ok?

My latest in a long list of excuses as to abysmal photo quality:
Total nutrients ingested during the meet - One Clif Bar, two Red Bulls, one Rock Star. Don't try this at home. The caffeine's apparently a Ritalin substitute for me. 
http://www.energyfiend.com/death-by-caffeine/
The Nikon lens' VR helps a bit with the shakes.
As I related in the www.flrunners.com forum:
Many thanks to:
1) hosts Tony Ryan and Dan Dearing for allowing me access to the track to get these shots,
2) the continuing kindness of Chiles HS parent Michael Lake. I was whining about maybe filling my camera's now puny 1GB CF card before the meet ended. He reached into his camera bag to loan me a spare 1GB. Got me through with room to spare!
3) the awesome spectacle of competitor coaches filling in the gaps to make sure this popular meet went off as planned. Through the chaos, I really saw nothing but cooperation amongst the alpha types to figure a way through. Way to step it up for the kids, guys and gals.
There's much more, and I have to go look at how bad some of those evening photos look now.
