Who said a wide focal length cannot be used for action photography? I thought since the previous image was taken with a 300mm; I would go to the opposite end. Here I used a 14-24 f2.8 lens at 14mm. I wanted to tell a story, where the whole event and all the officials (don’t forget the guy with the rake) were all showing their interest in the…Read More

I agree with Jacques. Excellent choice of a wide angle – it shows context, displaying the pit and the impressive distance achieved by the jumper. The official on the other side, with their gaze fixed on the jumper, adds to the scene.

Fixed focal length lenses require planning… as the subject placement is more difficult than when using a zoom lens. Late afternoon sun showing texture and depth in the background, so I selected a spot where the rider would fill the frame (remember it’s a fixed 300mm so your legs are the zoom) and I waited for a rider with high contrasting…Read More

Excellent action shot! I like how you framed the rider and the dust behind him, leaving more space in front to indicate the force around the bend and the taking of a new direction.

Beaunard Grobler. Almost abandoned.
Manual settings at f/4.0 with Lensbaby, Canon EOS 5D Mark II.
Motorcycle parked under a tree in Johannesburg. A bit of split-toning was added in Photoshop to create a cinematic effect. The figure in the background adds an element of mystery to the picture.

In the bright daylight shade, to achieve a shutter speed of 1 second, I lowered my ISO to 50 and set the aperture to f/18. This slow shutter speed, combined with deliberate camera movement, created an abstract impression of my subject,…Read More

Am assuming that you also generated some camera movement based on the blurring of the background and pavement grid.

Yes, I failed to mention deliberate camera movement in my post. Will quickly add it.

You become a master of musical chairs, finding that perfect lighting, and your patience stretches longer than the wait for the main course. But hey, on the plus side, you never need to worry about your memories. It’s all on the ‘…Read More

I love the image Glen. I think the wide angle paid off. I used to take a lot of school athletics photos when I was still a teacher. Never thought to go wide. Always from the front.
