I promised to share the story that was behind the second photo below.
Here is the blog post (not mine) that describes it:

I hope you'll enjoy it.

I am sharing it even though it is soft. I think it is one of those that "tell
a story". (And that's why I don't want to spoil the effect and will pause
before posting the story about it.)
But then, I am biased (and I was there to watch it).
Does it do that for you?
I think I am finally getting some handle on photographing figure skaters on
ice. There are still several things I'd like to improve and will try to work
on next time. (All critique and suggestions are solicited.)
I should probably consider getting some reasonable monopod with a head that
allows quick and easy flipping between horizontal and vertical positions.
Speaking of which, does anybody have a suggestion for a simple and
inexpensive head like that? Alternatively, are there any flip-brackets
designed for mounting a camera on a monopod? (I am thinking along the lines
of flash-mounting brackets that easy to flip, - something similar for
cameras.)
Thank you,
Igor
