Event Photography - Westborough Triathlon

Getting ready for the start of the Fall season so a little event photography is in order.
This is one of those gigs were there is not a lot of editorial freedom.  You are there to get a shot of everyone so they can buy online.  Some times you are even told where to stand, but not in this case.  I was assigned to the bike leg, so I had that for the day.  Other photographers will get swim/finish or parts of the run.

For the bike I like to shoot with the 400, sometimes with the 1.4TC attached, since I can get more working space.  Swim and run legs are usually good with a 70-200 since they can be more crowded.  The preferred shooting position is down low for the bike, since the head is usually down, while running and swimming can be higher.

You do what you can with what you got.


You get the serious
The really serious
The not-so serious
And some are there to just have fun
