Join the Biphotothon!
Inspired by the Olympic sport of Biatholon and underwhelmed by the physiques of many photographers seen at industry events the past twelve months, I've hit on a perfect new event--the Biphotothon. It involves skiing (winter Olympic years) or running (the summer years) and hand-held shooting from prone and standing positions.
There would be short lens and long lens classes and 5k, 15k and 30k course lengths for the sprinters and the distance folks.
Pulse will be measured at each shooting station and shutter speeds restricted to one-half heart rate. Shooting targets will be posted at 100 meters. They should be uniform and chosen to make the measuring of sharpness and clarity quantifiable.
Podium placement will be judged by a disinterested (but no doubt amused) panel of judges and based on sharpness (50%), speed of course completion (25%), and composition (25%...and yes, it could be a factor!).
No post-processing or tilt-shifting of any sort allowed.
Next development: Free-style Aerial Photography and Skelephoto....stay tuned.
