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”. 🙂
Shot with Canon 50D, Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L, shot in AV @ 1/800, f/4, focal length 105mm, ISO 400

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).
All are shot with Canon 50D, Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L

I learnt that it’s not that easy to take good pictures during off road triathlon. The course / track is so spread out, without any repeated loops, making it more difficult to get a ‘perfect’ spot. Here are just some pictures from the swim leg, which luckily (for me) is split into 2x750m with a short run in between.

inStill some pictures from the Sugbu Triathlon last weekend, but this time is from the kiddie series, which was held a day before. Unfortunately the weather was unfriendly on that particular afternoon, raining and windy and the sea was very choppy. Due to safety reason, the organiser cancelled the open water swimming leg and made it into a duathlon instead (run – bike – run).
As what I mentioned in the earlier post, no matter what level or category they are, you can see their seriousness, concentration and determination in their face while pushing themselves to their new limit.

Apart from body language, concentration, determination, pushing oneself to achieve or even exceed one’s target are clearly seen in the facial expression of athletes, no matter which category or level they are. This is what I would like to record in these photographs.
