Hannah Faulkner
East St. Louis Relays
Photograph by Tom Atwood |
Sometimes it takes a moment, when you first see a photo, to figure out exactly what is going on. In this case, as pole vaulter Hannah Faulkner is about to clear the bar at East St. Louis, a photographer, full of hope, has pointed his camera straight up. The polarizing filter on the lens turns the sky a deep blue, or in this desaturated image, black. My photographic technique is pretty much hit or miss, unlike Hannah's pole vaulting, which took her again to the State Finals as a junior, where she placed 9th. Shutter: 1/640; Aperture: f/5.6; ISO: 400; Focal length: 18 mm.
