p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Swedish Junior Athletics Championship



This weekend I participated in a sports photo workshop where I got the opportunity to shoot athletics for the first time. A little confusing when you are not used with all field events going on simultaneously. Either way, it was fun. Here are some pictures from the event.

Positive and negative criticism is always welcome and appreciated.

A "lensbaby" was used for image 3, 7, 8 and 13 to create the out of focus effect.

I think this is an awfully good series Andreas. It is quite different from what i usually see in sports shooting, it has a definite accent on creativity as opposed to simply being a sporting event coverage. Less journalistic but way more creative and i dare say it artistic.

+1 on the technical including post process from top to bottom of this thread. Hard to pick a favourite i like them all except maybe (big maybe here) for #9 which is quite common (seen this angle too many times i suppose) it sticks out compared to the feel and compositional creativity of the other shots of the set in my opinion, although technically just as good as the rest.

I'd be extremely proud to have any of these in my sport/portrait portfolio.

Great great work my friend and thank you very much for sharing, you most certainly have the eye for great composition.

I think 1,2,5,11 and 12 are wonderful! Totally unusual, and more impressive it was your first time at that type of event! Great eye.

What Russ said. So many angles. Some B&W. Wide. Tight. Just very well done.

Raymond: Thank you for your feedback, really appreciate it. I tried to take a more creative approach rather than a journalistic this time.

Larry: Thanks!

CW100, Thanks for your comment.

Thank you, Bob!

Thank you Russ and Rick! It helps to have a good variety in Athletics when you have the opportunity to shoot so many different track and field events. I tied to find different angles and go wide, tight, high and low.

Fstop: Thanks, I see what you mean
