Swimmers

By now, I’m sure you all know that I’m a cyclist, not a swimmer and not a runner, but this past weekend, some of my good friends and team members were participating in their first Tri-Athlon and some were participating in their 3rd, 4th, 5th… You get the idea!!!!

Since I’m not a runner or swimmer, I thought it would be cool to come to cheer for them and also photograph, so I did. I showed up at the event pretty much at the same time they were getting there, some of them knew I was going, some of them didn’t, so I think it was a good surprised for them to see me there cheering and photographing them.

I certainly enjoyed photographing this event as I could feel the adrenaline as they were about to start and transition for the next course.

Below are just some of the pictures of this event – These are NOT FineArt and maybe not be Sports Illustrated material, but this post is NOT about the actual photograph, but the actual accomplishments that my friends made. I know for one that I wouldn’t do what they did. Not because I can’t run or swim, but because I won’t just DO them.

BTW – Special congratulations to Naomi – She got 1st place in the Athena category… Why is this so special? Because it was her first time participating and she totally ROCKED it!

#1 Naomi Segall

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photographs as much as I enjoyed taking them.

On Sunday, August 29th, I had the pleasure of hanging out with ShootMiami at the FARA car races in the Homestead Speedway. This is my first time photographing a car race and I can say that it was hard… Not a little hard, but EXTREMELY hard.

I have been preparing for this event for about 2 weeks now, and by that, I mean, reading about motor sport photography, specially, the awesome blog of our friend Scott Kelby. Overall, I am very happy with the photographs I came out with.

These are some of my all-time favorite from this event.

In this picture, I wanted to show the players in motion and color contrast between the Red & Blue. As you can see in the EXIF data, I was using 1/60 shutter speed to show the motion.

A few weeks ago, the Cheerleading classes started at the YMCA South Dade and we decided to put our 5 year old Carolina…

They look so cute trying to a cheer when they can’t even control their arms… Too funny!

Anyways, last night was the first official basketball game that they were going to cheer, so I snapped a couple of photographs to share with you all.

A few days ago, I was asked by the soccer parents to photograph our last soccer game of the season. I was going to photograph my daughter anyway, but when some of the parent heard that I was a photographer, they all wanted me to photograph their kid, so I decided to upload the pictures to my gallery and let the parents purchase prints.

Photographing soccer is a whole lot of fun, specially when the players are 3-5 years old. It is NOT really a soccer game, but more like a Circus. You get to see all kinds of things & funny faces.
