I went shooting pictures at the 45th Copenhagen Six Day Race yesterday. After getting a couple of “clean” shots in the bank I decided it was time to play. Long shutter speeds and using the stroboscopic function on the flash was on one of the things on my agenda.Canon EOS-1D Mark II n, 17-40mm @ 38mm, 1/250sec, f/4, ISO500, flash fired.

It’s no secret.. I really enjoy shooting sports. People can argue how much sports photography is “photojournalism”. Still, it’s about documenting what happens.
I’ve spared you quite a bit and I’ve hardly posted any sports at all. So here’s a selection of some of the sports stuff I’ve shot.

This photo made the paper.

Didn’t make the paper. They never ran the story.. The guy in the picture is a rider from the local cycling team and participated in the National Track Championships.

Made the paper despite the puck didn’t go in the net. I like the shot a lot myself. For once I stepped away from ice level and shot some stuff from above.

This was actually a semi-scissorkick that resulted in a goal. Too bad the ball is not in the picture. Didn’t make the paper. They chose a jubilation photo instead.

I was sent to the game to shoot a picture of the guy in the yellow jersey. So of course this photo made the paper - full page spread (6 columns).

Didn’t make the paper and I knew it wouldn’t. It might be used as an archive photo in the future if the paper runs a story on the goaltender.
