Well, we’re here—all of us—at the “National Stadium” or Birds Nest, waiting for the start of one of the two big marquee events of the Olympic: The men’s 100m final. It’s the biggest “hurry up and wait” of them all.

100m final is over and only few hours later you have a full blog post on how the final was shot. Thank you for that!

Comment by Robert August 16, 2008 @ 3:46 pmCorrection on the latest blog entry, Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago.
I love the tilt shift version the best. Love all the images coming from the Olympics… cant say the same for NBC’s coverage. Clearly biased/ only want to show up their athletes… anyhow w/e.
Im definitely gonna try and shoot at the next Olympics or World Cup.. so thanks for all the insight.
Comment by Giovanni August 16, 2008 @ 5:12 pmRobert, I think Vincent always shoots RAW.
Comment by Marco Togni August 16, 2008 @ 6:46 pmI came across this blog when looking for photographers covering the olympics. What a fantastic insight into what it is really like at a big event. The good, the bad, and the humorous!
It makes me envious and wanting to get to BC in 2010!
Comment by Brian August 16, 2008 @ 8:44 pmWell done.
fantastic shot… always refreshing to see someone finding a way to shoot things differently than everyone else

and what an amazing resource it is from someone right there on the ground working…wow,
thanks so much for your effort!
I love the second photo in this entry, I was just wondering how it was done when I read about the 45mm tilt/shift lens. Thanks! Now I have another piece of equipment for my wish list…thanks a lot
Comment by Adam Leahy August 18, 2008 @ 3:01 pmWonderful picture Vince. I just rented a 24mm T/S and I’m having tons of fun with it. If first saw a T/S image with your Tennis Court shot. Nice Job.
