I had an opportunity to shoot Rockford’s roller derby team last night – The Rockford Rage.
I had previously photographed the team in St. Louis and knew that this sport is no cake walk to shoot. It’s indoors, dark and fast.
This time, I set one light up on a balcony aiming at a stretch of the track. I tried to wait for the skaters to cross the path with my light.
Here are a few frames from the bout. A handful more are posted on my Facebook page.
