This opening post in the AWC blog is in fact already the second post, but only the first one to be published. The earlier text didn’t have anything interesting anyway. Except for one thing. Packing only non-essential gear into the checked in luggage. An unpleasant surprise After having finally arrived at Barcelona airport with a slightly delayed flight, and queued for a far too good while at one car rental desk, our group of four got under way towards Zaragoza on the dark, nearly deserted, but particularly expensive Spanish highways. As if finding the hotel parking was not frustrating...

The morning for the NAC opened in wonderful sunshine… a bit too wonderful for shooting, bringing the usual issues of harsh shadows and glowing faded green of the surface.

Small and medium teams fought back from the fourth places from the jumping course, and the clear runs lifted the squads to silver and bronze, respectively. The small team nearly got to number one by a one fault and some time difference. In the...

The first day of competition in Nordic Championships was longer than scheduled, and in the afternoon the schedule was around 45 minutes late. This of course is nothing spectacular. Otherwise the practical organization seemed to work well, and the results were published right away for everybody’s interest. The breaks due to course building were quite short, which meant less breaks from active shooting – although the breaks can often provide different and refreshing images of the teams having a bit of fun or relaxing. The first course of the day (individual agility 1) provided a...

The first full day at the Nordic Championships is pretty much behind. Since a significant part of the photography work with any sports always awaits after the shoot, the place for the time outside the competition has a huge impact on the chances to work properly. I don’t have any clue how the hotel ranks among other alternatives in the location, but at least the room is quiet with proper sound insulation, there’s a desk to work on, the internet has been invented, and the breakfast is ample (with actually the time to have some). Pretty much perfect then. And there’s an empty...
