1st post -1st Triathlon

[Fraser]

I am trying to develop my sports photography and went along to a Triathlon event to see what I could learn. I wasn't really sure how best to shoot such an event, the tansition area where they go from swim to bike and then bike to run would have been interesting but I didn't have a pass to get in the area. Has anyone else shot Triathlon, I would like to see how others photograph the event.

One and two are my favourites. Three i think i would have prefered the focus to be on the runner? :shrug: not sure though, still like it. Four just doesn't work for me, i'm sorry

2 is my fave but they are all good.

Well done

1 + 2 are best for me - my mate does triathlon and you've certainly captured the spirit of the event..

Very well documented and very creative frames

Well done

Yes 1 and 2 for me.

1 is good panning, and 2 is a darn fine shot

#2 is a cracking shot

Thanks for the comments. A few more shots from the day:

Got a few weird looks as I was flat on the ground for this one.

Was trying to get the 'reeling him in' shot.

Love No5, I get the idea with No6, but it doesn't quite do it for me........

NO.2 and 5 really capture the spirit of triathlon for me - excellent shots.
