My local airfield has just hosted the national championship for paramotors.......suspend yourself under a big, banana shaped hanky with a 2m fan strapped to your jacksie and fly around the countryside. Off I went to fight through the crowds and shoot the action! It's as dull as ditchwater and the only spectators are the long suffering other halves of the 67 competitors from 4 or more countries. How do you instill some excitement into the photos?
I have an open invitation (request really) to shoot a petanque tournament...same problem....how to convey tension or excitement with a shot of one little metal ball and 6 or 8 big metal balls clustered together on a bed of gravel? I'm not into motorsports but I can appreciate (and take) shots that show some semblence of action but there are sports where it's hard to know what to offer.
So, what's your approach to shooting the mundane (or things that you find mundane)?
