| I spent 6 days in Beijing with Kate Allen, olympic triathlon champion from Athens 2004. This was the most difficult shooting in my career. First it was raining non stop for three days, with water up to my ankles in front of our hotel. On a "sunny" day in Beijing you can't really see the sun and the blue sky because of the smog during the day, so I was on 400ISO 60 F3,5.... Kate was very motivated to get some good photos so at least this time I had no problems with the athlete which can sometimes be the biggest problem for a photographer. I also had a great assistant - Marcel, Kate's husband! Thanks again Kate and Marcel for helping me survive this ;). |
