Advertisement Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Hi vic vic, Take a look here high jump champion. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest stnami Posted September 20, 2006 Share #2 Posted September 20, 2006 Hey Vic is this how the story goes? This young lass wants to win a medal but her rival has donated a large sum of money to a javelin thrower. So as the champ jumps she is speared by the javelin in mid air??? Bingo money well spent!!! ps while this was happening you rolled a cigarette Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vic Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted September 20, 2006 hi imants - whats up :-))))))))) tell me - how u get this story :-))) another leak from our trainings... shit... we will hunt the one who leaked the info :-)))))))))))))) no man - actually she is not lass, she is merried+, and already retired from performances (both international and national). she is old lady now, even i am old already for atletics :-))))) and ya - actually she is a kind of queen in athletics (although athlets in israel are not real clebrities like in australia or europe or usa). countless time champion in high jump, in jauvel throw, sprints etc... she was a great "promise" in russia and belonged to the most elite youngs (those who are targeted for olympic medals in russia), but some unfortunate developments in her career, and then she also got pragnant as far as i know, and the great "promise" was finished. she came to israel - and here it was almost eassy game for her :-)))))) anyway - she teaches me from time to time the jump and the jouvel throw (her best deciplins). both are difficult to me. jouwel is really tough cause i have alot of tennis in me, and the built in tennis motion in my body simply too contrary to the motion of jouwel throw :-))))))) but i still give her a match in sprints :-)))))) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted September 20, 2006 Share #4 Posted September 20, 2006 Victor - She HAD to be a friend, otherwise you never would have been allowed close enough for the 25mm lens -- Your close presence could have thrown her off. And even though she is past her competitive prime, she is in fabulous shape. On to the photos: a really fine series showing action as we almost never can see it. Well done.

rainer_p Posted September 20, 2006 Share #5 Posted September 20, 2006 ....I'm really nothing of a conventional person and cutting parts in photography can be really good. This is a good series, especially number one for me but I think that those images would have been even stronger keeping the whole person in the frame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
semrich Posted September 20, 2006 Share #6 Posted September 20, 2006 Victor, You have captured the spirit of the events and the action involved beautifully in the form of the athlete, both from the perspective and timing of your shots. I wonder how long you were at it, how many rolls of film, how many takes, and how tiring was it for her. Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vic Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted September 20, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) thanks rainer ... ya - it is different approach here, i just wanted room for the body but a specific rendition of space. fortunatly - i had a tiny 25 lens in my little bad with camera and 50mm on it. so had a muze to make some photos :-))))))) there is one thing i really would like to do though.... to repeat those and other images with big format camera. if i buy the linhof technorama - this is te first thing im gonna do i think. i want to enlarge it then to the real size (i mean to calculate more or less and to make very big prints that coresponds to the real body dementions). this is with pan-f film - so u have room for enlargement but not that much. 60cm wide side is ok, but this is the limit in my taste with small camera and pan-f. hi richard - thanks... one roll was done. there is a full roll on my website. about repeating the takes - wel - it was not on 2,30m high :-)))))) but ya - it is tyring. i wanted to make more photos later, but i was training myself, and it was really hot and sweeting, so i couldnot hold the camera properly (the grip was not on the camera).

vic vic Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share #9 Posted September 21, 2006 hi stuart - sorry - missed your reply.... glad u like :-))))) ya stuart of course she is a friend of mine. dont even want to think what would happen to her if we would clatch... but we have arranged and calculated both my positions and her running curves and jumping angles - so everything was ok, althouth as u say - very very close (thin like hair) :-))))) evita... what "yes"???? no :-)))))))))))) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stnami Posted September 21, 2006 Share #10 Posted September 21, 2006 Vic the almost abstract nature of the athlete reminds me of some of the surrealist/dada images of the 20s to 40s Europe. Tight cropping and placement near the edges of sports images really does place the viewer in abonus situation, Evita used this in her images as well but in her own way,with a similiar result.... the audience is invited into the images Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest evita Posted September 21, 2006 Share #11 Posted September 21, 2006 evita... what "yes"???? no :-)))))))))))) yes, the pictures work for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vic Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share #12 Posted September 21, 2006 thats it evita??? - nothing spicy u can say about it to make more fire :-)))))))))) thanks, glad u like it :-)))))) immants... ya - i know what u mean... i will add... those are new photos (q couple of days ago) so i stil have to live with them alittle bit. any way - when i look at it and with what u say, another person comes to my mind -- lotte jacobi (her early perioud in germany, not the usa). cannot really explain though.... her photo is very infuancial on me, but... her motion is different, surely the way she renders space. may be something deep in her unique way of abstraction + realizm (of those years in photography). may be something about the same eenthusiasm??? - dont know ... just feel some connection :-))))))))) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted September 21, 2006 Share #13 Posted September 21, 2006 Very nice series, Victor. In my opinion, the third image is by far the strongest composition but I would prefer to see it standing alone. I think often we photographers have a difficult time deciding which shot is our best, so we post several and the result is to make the best one look somewhat weaker than if left on its own.

vic vic Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share #14 Posted September 21, 2006 thanks brent... ya - as stand alone - 3 is my fave too i guess. anyway - i uploaded it as little series, not as uncertanity about the best image :-)))))) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
