Ladies and gentlemen hold on to your seats because we have something super exciting coming up.
SHOOTING.
NOT.
Shooting is a really nice sport i'm sure and I respect all athletes, from any sport.
However photographically speaking, shooting 'shooting' is not all too exciting.
Or so I was told.
And they were right.
There's hardly any action, the athletes are very calm (they have to be because its the nature of their sport... deep concentration, slow and quick decisive moments.)
But still I managed to wing this one.
The good thing about it is that everyone stays in one place and all the movements are the same... which means that you as a photographer will be able to move around the subject and make use of your environment to make pictures.
There was a lot of back lighted subjects and the way to get around it is to sometimes make silhouettes. Not every picture can be a silhouette though.
So anyway, this is my first time shooting the sport and i really want to try shooting some day. (like an air rifle)
It was a good chance to do some features along the way around that sport as well.
Another day.
So far we have been pulling long hours. waking up at 6am each day and sleeping at close to 1am daily.
Not to mention lugging around that 400mm f2.8 lens.. my back is all buggered up now and I. AM . IN . NEED . OF . A . MASSAGE right now.
BLEAH.
All my pictures shot on : Canon EOS-1D Mark IV, Canon EF 400mm F 2.8 and 70-200mm USM IS lens
