The Assignment:
British Swimming asked me if I would be their official photographer for this four day event at The Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh. It was to be a mixture of 10m platform and 3m spring board dives, both individual and synchronised.
The Challenge:
With the variety of dives consisting of handstand starts, somersaults and twists, the challenge was to ensure consistent sharp photographs. Using two cameras, Canon R6 and Canon R5 I was able to lock the focus on the diver and then re-compose the frame and as long as I managed to follow the movement, the diver stayed in focus.
