Shot this for UNiCOM today. Day 1 of 2 at the Bristol Rat Race; Urban Adventure. Basically, a serious of athletes descend into Bristol and pay for the pleasure of chasing electronic way points about the city - aggregate timing if you will. The cool thing is that the locations are given out some hour and a half before the 'race' proper and albeit in a cryptic guise. Frankly, if you are from Brizzle it is easier, but non sea fairing people really have to work hard and get about the city by hook or by crook, but by foot on the first day and by bike, rope and kyack on the second day. It is an enjoyable event to shoot, some waiting around but overall a reasonable set of images scored and more scope for the second day now that the eye is in. A three tier shoot today - start documenting the build up, some action which is few and far between and the sportraits at the end though not the finish is not a finish, more of a 'were back' scenario.
One thing I would say is that I was dying for a Nikon D3 or D700 today as the Canon missed shots that should have been on the money, but when it does nail them I take it for PQ everytime. What I need as a photographer is a camera with PQ of Canon which I love, but the stable auto focus of the Nikon range, which ironically I suppose I had when I was shooting with Mark II N cameras back in 06. More to follow. I am off to bed now with a touch of what feels like sunstroke!
