inDon’t you just hate it when you are standing at strategic spot by the finish line, camera is ready in hand, all set up, waiting for your subject to appear. Then as he enters, one random guy just innocently passes by right in front of you, blocking all your view. I just hate it!
But I was pleasantly surprised when I uploaded my shots for that day, and it turned out that my subject was nicely framed by the arm of that dude.
But my subject, a.k.a my eldest son is not so happy, as he commented, that his picture is “inside the dude’s armpit”. 🙂

That split second when I clicked the button, I had a chance to capture this perfect moment of 3 swimmers on their IM number. It looks like as if the swimmer in the middle is trying to catch his competitor who’s flying from the starting block.

Taken at Seaworld, Gold Coast, when this athlete / entertainer was having (what I assumed) a practice ride (or trial?) in between shows. I was standing at a wrong spot, but had I moved to the other side which MIGHT be better, I would have missed the moment. So please excuse the busy non-isolated background.
All are shot with Canon 50D, Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L

This morning, the triathletes have an opportunity for a swim practice right at the venue. This event is done under full supervisions of water safety and medical team.
Wetsuits are highly recommended, as there’s big possibility of ‘interaction’ with salt water crocodiles, as well as jellyfish (highly possible) and some sharks (hopefully not).

Here are some “better” shots I got from the Pinoy Pride XX box fight last week end. I tried to capture the facial expressions of the athlete, which I realised, is challenging (for me), as they are constantly moving (particularly upper body part) and / or protecting their face. Ya i know, the guys are making fun of me, such as, “You think they will stop and pose for you?” :-P.

Last Saturday night, I went to watch a box fight for the first time in my life. I am not at all a big fan of boxing. I am the type who will definitely either a. leave the room, or b. switch the channel if a box fight is on on tv. But this time, after making sure that camera is allowed, I do want to watch, just for taking picture and for the sake of being able to say, yes, I have been to a box fight.
So I was sitting there clicking away, struggling with camera setting. Being behind the camera, I actually concentrated more on the picture taking process, rather than watching the real fight itself. Until my memory card is full (can’t believe I clicked the button more than 800 times?). Gotta select and delete. Then my battery died (no spare, as I never thought that a non-stop usage of 3 hours-ish can suck the battery life out). Sooo beginner’s problem, right?
As I no longer can use the camera, then I finally really, i mean, really watch the fight. And I realised something. This actually is my first, and will be my last, watching a box fight. Don’t get me wrong. I do respect the sport. Boxers lead a tough life with tough training. But being beaten up left and right is not what I enjoy watching. I find it to be depressive to watch the process of a smooth face transferred into a bloody swollen one. I know this will be a sport to which I would firmly stand my ground and say NO to my kids (if they ever be interested in it).

inMy favourite shot of the whole running leg. I managed to capture Ji Jeong Hwan from Korea (finishes 9th), in which his upper body looks perfectly clear and still, while his legs are levitating and blurry, showing the speed.
I was sitting on the ground at the other side of the road trying to capture Dickson Tam from Hong Kong (finishes 10th), when at the same time a car passed by right in front of me, making the picture looking like as if he was head to head with it.
Again, trying to capture that split second when the athletes are up in the air, above are from the elite women group : Yuka Sato from Japan (finishes 2nd), Hoi Long from Macau (finishes 7th) and Chen Wei Chien from Taipei (finishes 11th).
