Nationals Patterns Pick of the Pix


Canon 30D, 37.0mm, 1/200s, f/3.5, ISO: 1250
Auckland North male team patterns gold medal winners caught getting some mid-air action.
Jeremy Hanna, Chris Broughton, Carl Van Roon, Cam Snelling, Mark Trotter


Canon 30D, 37.0mm, 1/200s, f/3.5, ISO: 1250
Carolina Dillen vs Chris Morton (background) in female 1st dan patterns adult. Carolina won Gold, Chris Bronze.


Canon 30D, 40.0mm, 1/200s, f/3.5, ISO: 1250
Jeremy Hanna vs Richard Lavin (background) in male 3rd dan patterns adult. Richard won Gold, Jeremy Bronze. Jeremy learned a valuable lesson in making a wrong move after focusing too much on how Richard was performing against him. Better to learn that at the nationals rather than the world champs in November Jem.

The next three images are of Kris Herbison vs Cam Snelling (background) in male 4th dan+ patterns. Mark Trotter won Gold, Cam Silver and Kris Bronze. Typically my favourite patterns images are those that capture a nice composition of the two competitors in action against each other...
