Swim

Full Size

By BigRed

Not anyone famous or glamorous, just a fellow volunteer giving her all at a charity Swimathon. Taken with the 45-200mm lens at 1/160th max flash sync speed. Lighting by Metz 50AF. A tip for anyone shooting an event at an indoor pool: Get there early, your camera and lenses will need time to acclimatise.

    Nice shot John, great framing with the lines of the lane markers and back wall tiles. I like their reflection, plus nice DoF.

    Thanks Ben,
    I did have to do some framing and cropping adjustments during development, sods law having dictated that the swimmers I was there to shoot had been allocated the lane furthest away from me! I was really happy to discover that the 50AF had enough ‘reach’ to freeze the water even at that distance. 🙂
