Olympics: Opening ceremony slideshow

Posted by Rod Mar


Finally had a bit of time and made a little slideshow of stuff from the opening ceremony.

I'd love to write an extended post, but the days are long and I've got to get rest since it's only Day 2.

So much I want to share with you all. For instance, today I shot road racing (that's bicycling), fencing and swimming. With all my requirements to shoot our local athletes, I also will find time to shoot the more "exotic" (for lack of a better term) sports like fencing, judo, etc.

Anyway, hope this looks okay (the audio was taken from my seat in the stadium -- you can hear camera shutters going off...):
