I'm finally getting a chance to sit down and look thru images from the ISU short track speedskating World Cup that was held the week of December 11, 2009 in Marquette, MI. We were blessed this year to have two major short track events, the Olympic qualifying trials and the World Cup, within weeks of each other. I wasn't on assignment photographing for anybody. This gave me a chance to take a chance and try some new things. These athletes are going a million miles a second and modern camera technology is getting real good at being able to capture millisecond action. On this particular image, there were a couple races where a sunbeam shone through to the ice, and created some real interesting lighting, to say the least. The light differential caused a backlight situation, and there were a few laps to capture almost like a tv commerical type lighting going on. Here is Apolo, in the lead, full out, skating through the sunbeam. I will get to more images probably after Christmas.
