2008 Olympics – Sports Photographer Rod Mar at the Usain Asylum
Posted by: The dSLR Dad in Photography InstructionI mentioned Rod Mar before in this blog. Rod is a Sports Photographer and is covering the 2008 Olympics for the Seattle Times. His blog, the Best Seat in the House, has provided great insights into how one prepares to capture these events. In his latest post, The Usain Asylum, Rod details capturing Jamaica’s Usain Bolt breaking Michael Johnson’s 12-year-old world record in the Mens 200 meter final (A record that I thought would stand for at least another decade):
Gotta love this guy.
A photographer’s dream.
Poses before he races.
Poses while he races.
Poses after he races.
Heck, in the prelims, I think he did more posing than racing.
Really. Dude is ridiculous fast, and photogenic to boot.
You can read the rest of the article over at The Seattle Times.
