Photos of the 2007 World Titles
Posted: Wed Jan 31, 2007 12:00 pm
Hi all!
As I'm sure you've all noticed, I've been busy getting my photos edited and posted both here and at my commercial web site where you can purchase prints of the action. I'm almost done and have only the Open finals left to post, as well as some scenery and wildlife and local color photos. Joel Mayer is busy with his photos and has about 300 or so that we will be posting as well.
Right now I don't know exactly how Joel's photos will be organized, but my photos are divided by date and by heats. Each 20 minute heat or 30 minute final has all the photos from that heat posted under that day's event. If you open up the heat folder you'll see all the thumbnails, and the very first thumbnail will have a short list of the heat number, who's in the heat, what color singlet they were wearing, and the final results of the heat.
Even if you're not interested in buying a photo, it's fun to look at the heats and see not only the hot moves but a whole series of photos of an entire wave. The best way to view these is to go to the bottom of the page and increase the number of thumbnails that are displayed on one page. I usually choose "25 down" and "6 across", but your results may vary depending on your browser and screen size. I tried to get everyone in the heat, but didn't always succeed. If you were out on the point or in a location where the glare was really bad, I couldn't always get a good shot. Also I can only shoot one surfer at a time.
I also did not photograph all the heats. And try as I did to hold fast on the cliff, I did take some breaks now and then. But don't fret, because even though I didn't get the shot of you there's a possibilty that Joel did -- so check back soon.
Although the lighting was very challenging, I did my best to post all of the photos that are printable. The thumbnails you see on the screen are very compressed, but if you purchase a photo you will get a high quality color correct archival quality print. This is not my bread and butter, but it does help me continue to photograph kneelo events and to buy and use equipment that allows me to do so with quality results. Joel is also attempting to recoup his costs from the trip, so if you see something you like don't worry if it's just one or two prints, every little bit helps. I've also lowered our prices in order to make it easier for you. And international shipping is available. The website is a commercial one, so credit card payments only. Just like Simon and Scott and Eric with their videos, we do it because we love it but your support helps us keep doing it.
Once again, the website is ksusa.photoreflect.com
10% of our sales will be donated back to KSUSA.
thanks to those of you who've already purchased photos!
