There is a trick to photographing the long jump (or almost any sporting event for that matter). The trick is to get as close as possible to the long jumper without A) interfering with the jump, and without B) getting jumped on. I have found that placing the camera just along the edge of the pit, in the sand near the landing spot, is best. You can't see what you're shooting, but if you point in the general direction of the jumper, you might end up with a picture like this one of Juilan Harvey as his coach, Chad Lakatos, watches closely. Shutter: 1/400; Aperture: f/6.3; ISO: 400; Focal length: 18mm.
