2012 Noosa Triathlon Photos

Hi all

This year I had another great time at the 2012 Noosa Triathlon & Noosa Triathlon Multi Sport Festival.  I enjoyed photographing events from the Eyeline 1000 Noosa Ocean Swim on the Friday afternoon right through to the main Noosa Triathlon all Sunday morning. Here are some pics from the 2012 Noosa Triathlon:

ExpressiveBikes Inspired Trials Expression Session

Hi all

Last Saturday afternnoon I enjoyed photographing the ExpressiveBikes Inspired Trials Expression Session at RampAttak Indoor Skate Park, Brisbane. The cycling was a variant on a combination of Bike Trials with a tiny bit of BMX, in an indoor skate park setting. Even some Mountian Bikes with suspension made a showing. Here are some pics:

Sunday Mail Suncorp Bridge to Brisbane Fun Run 2012

Hi all

Last Sunday morning I enjoyed a quick hour of snapping pics at the Sunday Mail Suncorp Bridge to Brisbane Fun Run. I was happy just to capture the end of the main 10k race. Thanks to everyone who either sent a smile towards the camera or who were obviously putting a big effort in. Some pics:

One of my favourites - nice romantic perspective on this happy couple (who had already run / walked 9 kilometres!):
