The Brief

Recently Daryl Gordon Photography was contacted by Entry Zone to provide professional event photography for  one of their events, The Victorian Mountain Bike Championship Series being held at Redhill.

Daryl we need photos that will showcase the action and the environment of the race, we don’t need you at the start finish line, we need you out on the course.

We also need a quick turn around for all our social media platforms

Firstly we made sure that we had vehicular access to the course, this would enable us to move around quickly to cover all of the terrain covered by the riders.

We took a couple of different camera and lens set ups as these would provide a range of different looks over the same areas during the day.

On the day we were able to chat to different officials who knew the area and who were able to point us to some great locations. It was then down to our professional photographer using his years of experience to frame and capture the action.

Below you’ll see some of our favourite shots and a little explanation of how we achieved them. You’ll notice that we always shoot both portrait and landscape orientated images this gives the end users of the images a range of options for layouts when it comes to their marketing, not to mention some images deserve that kind of composition.

POST PRODUCTION

Quick Turn Around

This assignment required a quick turnaround of some images for the clients social media.

Here at Daryl Gordon Photography we were able to edit and share around 20 images within 2 hours of finishing the shoot.

:Basic Editing. At events our professional photographers will take a lot of photographs, especially if there’s sports action. Part of our job in post production is to work through all of these and delete the images that either don’t quite work or are too similar to other images. No one needs an overwhelming number of images to sort through, so we take care of that for you.

:Individual exposure adjustments. Shooting outdoor sport always has its challenges with light and shadows and digital noise. This means that during post production we take the time and make the effort to balance out exposures by lighting shadow and dimming down highlights and minimising digital noise.

:Cropping. Images can be cropped creatively to add extra impact. With our trained eye we will select images and perform creative cropping, delivering extra image so that our clients have lots of choices.

:Colour Balance. Mixed lighting sources can all create chaos in terms of how images look, especially on skin tones. We must get the colours correct. Daryl Gordon Photography has a colour-calibrated system that takes the guesswork out of it. We remove colour casts so that the images look natural with a minimum of variation.

DELIVERY

Daryl Gordon Photography was able to electronically deliver finished images to our client  within 24 hours of the initial shoot.

This was all included in our initial price, not an unpleasant extra. If you need photos delivered to tight deadlines, then just let us know from the start and this can all be planned.

All images are archived online free of charge for 12 months. This makes it easy to share image files with third parties or provides added security in case your back-up fails.
