Ecstatic Olympic Torch Bearer

in #sportsphotography7 years ago (edited)

Here's my entry to Photochain's Weekly contest. Theme: Happiness.

When I saw this scene unfolding through my viewfinder, I couldn't help but smile and be happy as well. Even in the rain I saw pure, unadulterated happiness from this Olympic torch bearer. I shot this at the opening leg of the torch relay for the Inaugural Youth Olympic Games held in Singapore.

I shot this with a Canon 7D at 300mm, f5.6, 1/1000, ISO 1600.

All the images (unless otherwise noted in the post) are my images and are available for sale. If you're interested in buying an image or three, please don't hesitate to contact me for more details. Thanks in advance!
