This was a first for us. We've never shot anything remotely similar to synchronized swimming, so it was definitely a challenge. We'll be investing in some longer lenses in the New Year in time for the Spring Watershow. For us, it's all about getting facial expressions and not being able to do much of that really pushed us to come up with compelling images. That's probably a good thing because it forces us to shoot better.
Thanks to our awesome sports-mom friend Jody for inviting us poolside. Her beautiful daughter Maddie is a talented swimmer.
Great stuff. You guys did a great job despite the challenges.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Jus' wait till we get those 300mm's eh? eh? Then we can do some smackdown awesome ones ... sports always offers a level of intensity that you really can't find anywhere else.
ReplyDeleteFrig yeah, it'll be awesome. I just used Chris' 135mm f/2.0 L series lens. Oh baby is it a nice fast glass. Sharp images. Yes, you'll be laying down some serious smackdown awesomeness with a 300mm.
