The Olympics

My first guest today is my favorite pic of all the Olympics and it cannot be any more explicit and genuine. See her expression of elation and passion about what she is doing. The colors are perfectly placed and blended in, especially those greens on the shoulders. The Olympic rings never looked so good and it is going to take a lot of a photographer to top this one off. Check the greens on the shoulders I mentioned and match them with the background. You immediately understand, that this is a major event and there is a whole corporate image department behind it. Awesome.

One little thing I do not like about the design of the uniform is the placing of the flag. They should have been two flags on either side and both of them facing backwards like on an aircraft.


This next picture has something very interesting: it is not a product of fate, it was well planned by the photographer and even by the subject whose two hands are well aligned with his fuselage, just ready for the picture. Moreover, check to his near right and you will see a remote outdoor camera that is in charge of capturing precious moments like this one. This picture and the last one are very good examples of shutter speed management, especially this one which comes with the composition bonus. Would you like to have this picture in your studio, enlarged to poster-size just to remember your achievements when you were young and reckless?

Finally, the even more impressive shutter speed management sample represented by this action-packed picture. There are lots of details to make a comment on, so lets get started:

Believe it or not, the fluorescent yellow-greens are the original ones as they have not been digitally saturated. They naturally glow this powerful because of snow's light capturing capabilities. Incredible. The shutter speed has to be really high, I would dare to say that it is in the 1/1000 of a sec neighborhood, based on the definition and dispersion of the snow flakes, expanded 2 to 3 times higher than the laying skier. Again, my complaint goes to the US flag department, the flag should have been better placed as they used to be. My congratulations to the photographer for his timely action and superb result. I am always for finding and putting on display great pictures that celebrate the art and science of photography. More than ever, this is the time of the photography, this is the time to start submerging yourself into this endless field ore to deepening yourself even more. Soon more pictures, keep shooting away before it is too late.
