Thanks for sharing! Happened to find this only now. This video shows nicely how to combine professional use of camera gear, seasoned anticipation of events, creative observation of details and composition in order to capture significant photos.
Excellent video, thanks so much for creating this! I love the behind the scenes look! With regards to focusing, are you using the center point and recomposing, back-button AF, switching AF points, or something else?
Thanks for the nice words - For the pictures of the riders coming round in the corner - where I'm snapping all the time - I pre-focus...AF is not fast enough because the riders are going to fast. I use almost all kinds of AF - center point and recomposing - but also the the AF points right/left, if this makes more sense in some situations. I used to have the AF on the backbutton ( I presume you meaning the button on the back of the camera-body), but for me I it works better with the AF the normal way.
I’m watching this video over and over again! Are you planning to publish more cycling video’s? And what’s up with the tape on the lenses? Keep up the good work!
I'm not covering that much cycling anymore so no plans about that...these days mostly football. Tape is so I can recognize my gear when it's spread around in the pressroom...
Amazing video! Thanks for the share. Why were you using the 300mm f4 during the first day and the 400 2.8 the second day? Also, do you get any pushback when photographing these athletes so close with a 24-70? Thanks
+Ryan Robinson I'm happy that you like the video. I borrowed the 300/4 from Nikon on the first two stages and had to give it back to them...;-) It's a very, very nice piece of glass that was perfect for the finishline photos - actually with the 400 you sometimes get too close to the action. I never get any pushback fro the athletes - and I think it's not only because many of them know me but also because they are professionals and are used to photographers in the start/finish area.
Jeg er dybt imponeret over dine evner bag kameraet. En lærerig video. Men hvad er der lige med det tape på glasset; har nu set det både i grønt og rødt?
Tak for ordene - mht. tape'en...når vi er mange fotografer samlet i et presserum, så ligger vores udstyr tit ved siden af hinanden og vi bruger de samme typer kameraer og objektiver - så med grøn tape (eller rød), så kan jeg altid genkende mit eget grej og så kommer jeg ikke til at tage en andens...og viceversa...
9:10 How could leave such an expensive lens on the ground like that and comfortably go more the 10 meters away from it without fearing that it could get stolen? Yes, you probably didn't buy it yourself, but still ! ,,,, I recently bought a used 70-200 2.8 VR II and when I take it out to shoot I watch it like I watch my own son. All respect to your hard work, sir
+Eric Tillotson Hi Eric - I shoot both - almost highest JPEG to transmit for the wire - and the RAW for later editing on the Mac. As the only contributors for Getty we deliver our JPEG's directly from the camera and directly into the Getty-site - with just a standard caption and then later we can write a more specified caption with names and what's going on in the picture on the Getty-workflow site
Lars Rønbøg Perfect thanks, that's what I figured. I've been running out of room so been switching away from shooting both and just shooting High JPG. A couple of times I've wished I shot in RAW but I have a stack of about 10 1TB g-force drives already clogging up my desk just from 2015. Thanks again, great stuff!
+Eric Tillotson I prefer RAW as we often shoot in low light indoor and bad light also. We process all our files in CaptureOne (Phaseone.com) and never have them through Photoshop. The files coming out is amazing - earlier Capture One was very slow and not suitable for news photography but later versions of this software are very fast and suitable also for a news-workflow
+Lars Rønbøg Awesome thanks for your insight, lovely work and keep up the videos it's always great to see other's workflow so to compare to your own. Great framing and eye also, love the variety of shots.
Hmm, how UCI give you approve to ride the car? Рow do you overtake the peloton in the narrow streets? For my last 2 tours, I did my shoots from the moto.
It's not the UCI, it's the organization of Tour of DK - and I don't overtake the peloton...just taking shortcuts in order to not making trouble for the riders. (and myself)...
This is one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam - highly inspirational and very educational. Thank you very much for posting
Great insight and superb shots.
Amazing shoots !!! i love your pictures !!

Amazing photos, great work! 👌👏

That is so helpful. EXIF data, please ...
Realy cool stuff!

Amazing Job and shoots (y)
If you do not mind, would you share with us camera settings ? Thank you
Hi! Can I ask some question?
1. what accessories and gearsdo you use? (Objectives etc)
2. what settings do you use to capture these fast moments?
Jeg er dybt imponeret over dine evner bag kameraet. En lærerig video. Men hvad er der lige med det tape på glasset; har nu set det både i grønt og rødt?

I DO buy my own gear. We are in a closed area so it will not be stolen - people respect it
Cause we are Danish!!!🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
Nice Job 👏🔥📷
Amazing
Do you normally shoot these events in RAW or High JPEG for faster delivery to the wire?
