Woodchopping contest - how to process?

Nice capture, Steven.

I love the spectacle of the Wood Chop also., and occasionally watch the Stihl Timbersports on TV. I haven’t seen live timbersports since I was in Wangaratta, Victoria, 2000-2004.

My imagination says dragging your shutter to capture motion might give more dynamics to the picture - say 1/125 or 1/200 or so. Especially if you can capture the axeman mid-swing; or, if you’re lucky enough, to catch a wood-chip flying.
