World's YoYo edit 22

Photo taken 08/01/2008 at the World's YoYo competition in Orlando, FL. I literally took about a thousand pictures, and wound up with about 30-something decent enough for upload lol. The combination of dim lighting, extremely fast movements, and the fact that I was standing in the back of a very large ballroom (about 200 feet from the stage) made good shots hard to come by. Most are still blurry, but I chose the best compositions and sometimes the blurring accentuates the fluidity of movement.

I have a lot of respect for the competitors - it's a hard talent to master. I wish I could have gotten good shots of all of them. Anyone who knows their names please leave a comment or send me a note so I can credit!
