Here are a few shots from the super combined downhill race today. I found out how the pros get such good photos today. It's all about your position while shooting. Us regular joes get stuck at awful angles and miles away while the pros are at ground level right on the course.

These were all taken from spectator areas along side the course just above the accredited shooters.

This Olympic shooting and been a real learning experience for me and I can't wait to shoot more sporting events. (hopefully I can get accreditation one of these days)

Bodie Miller on his gold medal run. Tough to shoot with the sun right at his back.

Incredible job! Alpine, Super G, and the Combined are the highlight of the winter olympics. These are spectacular. You need to watermark these asap.
