I know the SEA Games were last year, but it was great opportunity to cover a multitude of sports. Share your shots and what your learnings from shooting each event were.

Hey teej, great idea. For starters, here are a coupleof my favorites from my SEAG 2005 folio:

"Save" - The Myanmarese goalie foils an attempt by the Philippine Lady Booters to score. Myanmar won 4-1.

"Ballerina" - Football players make good ballerinas.

I wish I had a faster lens...:( ... and used a higher ISO... I was so excited to watch international competition that I totally forgot about setting it higher.

Some shots during the games

Nice shots Raffy! Wasn't able to cover badminton but I sure wish I did.

Thanks, Nono.

I'd give a lot to get a similar chance and correct my errors.

I love what you did with the Myanmar goal tender shot. Black and white had such a great effect on the shot.

inaamag na yung collection ko from the SEA games.
I thought there was a book going to be done?

here are some of my badminton shots. I tried shooting from the bleachers as well, but it was rather too far for me.

Identifying an ideal spot to take photos was important since you weren't alllowed to move around the area too much during the actual matches. It was my first time to cover fencing, but after the first few rounds, you get the hang of how the event goes.

Great shots guys! Keep 'em coming! Here are some baseball shots:

Hi Cleober,

The images didn't link. Did you try using the image tag icon (the pic with the little mountain) in the reply function?

aing and candelario winning the gold and silver... i forget which event..
one thing i learned was that to be a sports photographer, you have to be fit as well. fit enough to run 100 meters while changing CF cards and lenses to chase the athletes who decided to run off the opposite direction. i remember doing this alongside lyn rillon of inquirer, who was carrying a 1ds body with a 300 2.8 big lens attached to it. which she left halfway through the track.

due to cloud cover, my colors weren't that great on this one. also, i think a pola would've come in handy to cut the glare off the water.
