Friends in arms.
35mm, f/4.0, 1/160s, ISO800
A few weeks back, my daughter's kindy held a sports day at the MPSJ sports complex.
It was drizzling with rain when we arrived there, and the event was delayed by up to nearly half an hour. Knowing that I had to shoot this in the open, I opted for the Olympus E-3 with the Zuiko Digital ED35-100mm f2.0 lens. The lens gave me the distance coverage I needed as there was a large crowd of parents and friends encircling the telematches. I couldn't get close enough!
Boys Brigade provided the marching tempo
The old Zuiko motor was able to track the fast marching
On your marks!!
Hard at work collecting the bumper crop.
A medal for the effort!
There's nothing much to say, except that shooting in an uncontrolled crowded situation is very tough. Gotta be fast to get the best location. In this type of shooting, location, location & location is very important!!
Also, notice the compression effect in the pictures. Thanks to the sole usage of the telephoto lens, the effect of people bunching up together within the frame is further magnified.
And my son had a blast too playing with the umbrella!
Byee......
