It is named after the same Edward Elliot who started my photo club, one of the oldest in the world, called The Photographic Society of Madras, in 1857. Now that I had the equipment to go and photograph sports, I decided to give it a go. Some photographs of action, followed by a few pretty competitors, and lastly a couple of night shots at ISO 25,600. All shots with the D4 and the new 70-200mm f4 lens - most of the shots taken wide open.
