I host my pictures at www.smugmug.com but it is not a free service. If you have a Gmail account you can use Picassa which works well. Otherwise, if you have free web space just create a web album from the various free programs such as JAlbum.

Ben Peterson cleared a personal-best height of 17 feet, 0 3/4 inches to gather his first NCAA provisional qualifier. The Gopher sophomore led a Minnesota sweep of the top five places in the event. Joe Plencner cleared 16-8 3/4 to finish second.
Also to note is the big PR for Andy Lindberg with a jump of 5.00m.
Thank you gentlemen--you are both very kind
Thanks too for the great shots!
--the shots clearly expose what we still have to fix
--the boys and I will use them to improve
Thank you again
Steve
Here are my pics- I went with snapfish. They are a little blurry as I am not an established photographer as Chris Milton... :) There's a ton of them. Some good sequences. Some not. One performance that stands out for me from the night was Matt Maslowski's. A great example of never giving up. Matt struggled last year and wasn't able to get much beyond 13' his senior year of High School. Matt didn't give up. He has stuck with it and with some perserverance and good coaching, pr'ed on Friday clearing 14'7". Here's the link.

Not too bad Dan!
Some tips...
1. Zoom in and shoot vertically to fill the frame with the subject.
2. Shoot in Aperture Priority (AV) at the lowest setting and set the ISO to 1600 indoors. This is limited by your lens.
3. Delete shots that are out of focus or blocked by anything.
4. Sort the photos online so that they are in order of the meet or grouped by vaulter.
5. Have fun! Try not to spend all your money on faster lenses!
