When choosing a great action picture it is important that it relates to the viewer. This can either be to someone who was there at the time and bring back memories or it can inspire the first time viewer of the image.
This picture has that magical quality by being immediately visually inspiring, but when you look closer, the depth of field brings out new levels of detail that add to the magic. It shows off the photographers skills, the sensational quality of Zuiko lenses and involves the viewer in so many ways. It is just stunning!
Almost everyone has a favourite sport, whether it be football (probably the most popular sport right now as the World Cup is in full swing), basketball, swimming, golf…. The possibilities are endless.
Sport has some kind of a magical power: it connects people. It is about those incredible moments when sheer human will and desire overcome the odds.
No matter if you usually practice certain sports yourself or you just enjoy watching them, go out and capture a stunning moment of your favourite sports activity for our Picture of the Month Contest!
