영국 가디언에 게재된 사진들입니다.

스포츠 사진이란 것이 대부분 매우 빠른 순간동작들을 카메라에 담는 것이기에 사진작가의 민첩한 상황판단과 행동이 필요하지요. 사진 멋작들이 어떻게 만들어졌는지 알아보는 것은 흥미로운 일입니다. 나의 사진 촬영기법을 높힐 수 있기를 기대하면서 소개해요~^^

 
Sharp shooters:
The best sports photos of 2025 and the stories behind them

Here are some of the fleeting moments, wild celebrations and creative compositions that caught our eyes – accompanied by explanations and technical info from the photographers themselves.

Formula One by Jakub Porzycki (15-35mm, 1/10th sec, f/22, ISO 100)
“When I photograph a Formula One race, I try to use the time between the ‘must have’ photos – the start of the race and the podium ceremony at the end – to look for more creative frames. At Imola, I had already visited the Ayrton Senna memorial and saw it filled with national flags, flowers and mementos. I noticed the passing cars were slightly visible between these objects, so I decided to use this colourful surrounding to frame a long exposure. Freezing the motion of a fast-moving car with a slow shutter speed isn’t easy (you must pan the camera at exactly the right speed), so I took many photos and chose the best. This photo shows Lando Norris, who later became the new F1 world champion.”

Trafalgar Square by Lee Smith (16mm, 1/4000th sec, f/4, ISO400)
“As a Sunderland fan born and raised, this image was a labour of love. I’d travelled down to London the day before the Championship play-off final, specifically to cover the traditional ‘pilgrimage’ to Trafalgar Square by Mackems when their team plays at Wembley. Huge numbers were in attendance. It was a peaceful, good-humoured, mass celebration that lasted long into the evening. This photograph was taken as the sun was going down behind the National Gallery. Sunderland fans were playing head-tennis in the fountains and splashing water. Many held aloft red smoke flares, adding ambiance, dramatic light and colour all around the iconic landmark. The scenes that day will last with me for a lifetime. What made it even more special is that we won the playoff final the following day.”

High diving by Marko Djurica (16mm, 1/1600th sec, f/22, ISO 800)
“This photo was taken at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore during the men’s high-dive competition. It shows Switzerland’s Jean-David Duval plunging from the 27m platform into a small circular pool below. The pool measures just six metres deep and 17 metres across – dimensions that feel even more intimidating when viewed from the top of the platform. For the first time, Reuters was granted a photo position inside the pool and I had the opportunity to shoot from there. Positioned on the very edge for safety, I spent nearly four hours in the water wearing a wetsuit and fins, holding an underwater housing containing a Canon R3 camera with a 16mm lens. Some water splashed over the camera’s glass dome as I lowered it into pool to capture a half-and-half shot of Duval’s dive. The effect was unplanned and it’s one I doubt I could replicate in the same way.”

Red Rose by Ryan Pierse (double exposure)
“This image of the England superstar Ellie Kildunne is the result of an in-camera sequential multiple exposure. First, I took a single picture of the iconic Red Rose logo. The very next frame – without being able to see the previous image of the rose – I had to capture an image of Ellie as centrally as possible to line up with the rose. The camera then blends the two exposures together. This technique can be low percentage on hit-rate, but when it all comes together you can produce a very striking image.”

Silhouetted surfer by Adam Pretty (200m, 1/320th sec, f/4, ISO 100)
“I took this picture – early in the morning before the sun was up – at the relatively new Surftown wave pool in Munich. Six elite French Polynesian surfers were holding private training sessions to practise specific manoeuvres and aerials on the perfectly consistent man-made wave. Aelan Vaast was performing a layback hack on the final section of the wave. I used a flash to create this silhouette of her against the bright blue water of the pool and to capture the spray she was throwing with her massive turn.”

Blurry badminton by Shi Tang (85mm, 1/5th sec, f/6.3, ISO 50)
“This images captures badminton player Tomoka Miyazaki in mid-motion. She is rendered with a long-exposure effect which transforms her movement into flowing streaks of red light. The blurred trails emphasise the power and fluidity of the action, while the sharpness of her focused expression‎ adds contrast and intensity. Set against a dark background, the vibrant colours and sweeping motion create an almost abstract, dance-like composition.”

Bike flip by Hannah Peters (99mm, 1/3200th sec, f/22, ISO 640)
“I’d been looking forward to the Crankworx slope-style event because it often makes good pictures, but I was disappointed when I set off early that morning to see clouds and no light. The sun suddenly broke through for about five minutes and only two riders made their runs. It was a bit of good fortune that Tim Bringer managed to pull off a pretty awesome trick just in time.”

Ice hockey by Steph Cahmbers (150mm, 1/8th sec, f/11, ISO 800)
“When the Seattle Kraken take to the ice during a pre-game light show, the swirling spotlights last about a minute. Using a slow shutter speed, the colours from the tunnel paired with the players’ profiles in silhouette, creates a unique image that’s only possible from my photo position’s shooting hole. It’s hit or miss, so I like to challenge myself before each game.”

Tennis triangle by Julian Finney (200mm, 1/1000th, f/3.2, ISO 100)
“The Madrid Open is a unique tournament where the three main courts are inside the Caja Mágica, or ‘Magic Box’. The roof moves according to sunlight and creates hard shadows across the court at certain times of the day. I discovered an area that I could shoot behind to add an extra shadow and I thought to myself: ‘I could compose the player inside a triangle shape.’ Then it was a matter of waiting for the action to happen in area of the court where the player was in silhouette. I find it very rewarding to discover a new style of image, which other photographers will attempt to copy year-over-year.
