[Esp. /Eng.]

Hacer paisaje con una pequeña cámara de 35 mm significa centrarte en lo que tienes, no en lo que quieres, y sacar partido de ello. Beneficio extra: se viaja mucho más ligero (y feliz!). 

 

Landscape photography with a small 35 mm camera means focusing on what you have, not on what you want, and taking the most of it. Extra benefit: you travel far ligther (and happier!).

Pone la piel de gallina fotografiar salidas como ésta. Las salidas en un Mundial sobrecogen. Los árbitros se dirigen a pontoneros y tripulaciones con monosílabos. Cuatro minutos: el silencio se hace absoluto. Los fotógrafos ya estamos en el sitio elegido, tumbados o agachados en el suelo, inmóviles. Compruebas parámetros de disparo e imaginas los encuadres que vas a disparar, e intentas adoptar la posición menos  incómoda posible. El fotógrafo de mi derecha tiene la oreja pegada al pontón. El pontón está ardiendo: me quemo los codos sin enterarme. En el último minuto un árbitro dicta los nombres de las selecciones en salida: es el momento de apuntar. La señal de salida dispara a la par a los remeros y a las cámaras. Levantarse, recolocarse o salir del pontón para fotografiar en otra parte.

It gives you the goosebumps to shoot starts like this one. Starts startle in a World Championship. The referees talk to boatholders and crews using monosyllables. Four minutes: silence gets absolute. We the photographers are already poised in the chosen place, lying on the deck or ducked, still. You check the shooting parameters and foresee the framings you want to get, and try to adopt the less uncomfortable stance. The photographer on my right keeps his ear stuck to the deck. The deck burns: I burn my elbows without realizing it. In the last minute a referee says the names of the teams at the start: it’s time to point and focus. The start signal triggers action of both the rowers and the cameras. Getting up, resit o leave the deck to go shooting elsewhere.
