Photographing the Royal Military Tournament at Earls Court
I had the opportunity to join four other photographers working at this event to create images for the website www.tournamentimages.com , soemthing that was never going to be turned down! I remember going as a kid, and knew that it had stopped eight or nine years ago, and only re-started last year. So who knows possibly my only opportunity, and for this particular event that was celebrating the collaboration between the UK and US military, even looking at the historic times when the two sides almost came to fight each other. It was great to get in close to all the action, but with flash photography not allowed a very high ISO and shallow depth of field was needed in order to get the necessary shutter speeds to hand-hold the camera. Everything was shot with a 70-200 lens, and here are some of the results:
It was fantastic event, and just a privilege to be asked to join the team of photographers at www.tournamentimages.com (all images for sale through this site), may even be asked again next year! To witness the displays of the 700 troops and 100 horse that were involved was a great experience, as was helping to do teh photography.
