Capture the Thrill of Victory
and the Agony of Defeat
You can also capture some wonderful images after the event ends. Photograph
the athletes at the awards ceremony. If a friend or relative receives a trophy, you
can present them with a wonderful keepsake of their smiling face as they hold
the trophy high in the air. At an automobile race, get close to the winner??™s circle,
and capture images of the winning driver smiling and spraying the crowd with
champagne. Take photographs of the losing team as well to capture the full
range of emotions, from victory to defeat.
TIP
When taking finish-line photos, switch to continuous
shooting mode, if your camera is so equipped. Press the
shutter button to capture a sequence of images as the
athletes cross the finish line.
TIP
You can create memorable photos if you take pictures
of athletes moments after the end of a competition. For
example, a photograph of a marathon runner seconds
after he crosses the finish line shows the toll a grueling
physical competition takes on an athlete.
