I am 99% sure I have acquired the credentials to photograph the 2015 Canada Winter Games. With 19 different sports to choose from, I want to be able to shoot not only the ones I need to shoot, but ones that are fun to shoot and ones that are challenging and would push my abilities.

Here are a list of events: http://www.canadagames​2015.ca …the-games/official-sports (external link)

What are some must shoots?

Thanks all.

If it were me, I'd be excited to shoot:

Badminton
Figure Skating
Freestyle Skiing
Gymnastics
Table Tennis
and maybe Squash

Not necessarily in that order.
Out of these, I only have minimal gymnastics experience. I'd be thrilled to shoot any of those though!


Gear: A lot more than I deserve and a lot less than I want!
