Another whole new photography experience today, I went to Seaspray to catch some pics of their open club lifesaving champs.
At the start of the year I said I wanted to move outside my comfort zone this year in photography......try some other things than cycling...well I didn't move too far as there was still a bunch of people in Lycra.,......but I didn't notice a big difference from shooting pics of the Nippers (the surf lifesaving kids), in
- There was a bit of pushing and shoving in the men's
- In the flags events you have more that about 30kgs coming at you at a rapid pace
Similarities
- Competitors still need to be told a few times to get on the start line and stop talking
- Enthusiasm +++
- Lots of spectators
It was fun so here is a bit of a pictorial insight into my day and I will have all the pics done by hopefully Monday night as I am heading off to Lakes Entrance Nippers tomorrow so that will be a long day and I hope the weather is just like today as it was a fantastic day today.
Full pictures to be on website
actionpactpix by Tuesday, but as I am off to Lakes Entrance tomorrow and I am orgnaising a few things for them, I will not sit and really go through theses images until Sunday/Monday....but well done everyone...some fantastic perfomances in the surf, and the comments from the sidelines were that some of you were very impressive showing dedication and training.....
