Here, for your weekend viewing pleasure, are 15 of the best swimming, lifting,hammer throwing, volleyball, fencing, shotputting, gymnastics, track & field, diving, horseback riding, and kayaking photos currently on the internet. We’ve culled through hundreds (fun job) and these are our favorites.
Click through the image tabs above to see the stunning photos that demonstrate the exciting thrill of victory and the stunning agony of defeat (Egyptian weightlifter with weight bar on her face!).
Enjoy the Games!
Hello,
I cover for International Gymnastics Federations all Gym-effents during the Games as official photographer. Besides documentary I created two slideshows (http://www.youtube.com/user/figchannel). Maybe others know, where I can find more staff like that. Would be nice
to have inspirations for more projects.
The dressage one is the only one I really like, and wish we’d see more like it. Most are the same old thing–the agony and the ecstasy in fully stopped motion, over and over again.
How does one shoot it? Multishots? and then finally edited?
Thanks for putting these photos up! Love love the Gabby Douglas shot and the fencing shots. Hell I love them all.
