My (slightly mad) wife, with 11 other members of our gym have entered this next weekend: http://toughmudder.com.au/ Despite a lot of peer pressure to also join up I have held out as 'Support' crew / official team photographer. Taking the D3s with 70-200 mm and a 1.4x Kenko convertor in the bag. Will also take the D200 with Sigma 10-20mm on and have Nikon 24-70mm in bag. Probably leaving D7000 at home. I might need to cover a fair bit of distance with the cameras, although I hope to take a mountain bike with panniers. Any advice/thoughts?

Sure it is only slightly mad.... with the weather you guys have been having they may all be completely dried/burnt out after 20km even with all the mud!!! Advice: Watch the mud and your cameras!! Hope you enjoy the day.

It went really well, no permanent damage to me or camera gear (but I did catch a touch of sunburn on the back of my calves - not had that for years). Had a great time, the group from the gym all got on really well together and we had a ball, such great fun. I'm going to enter myself next time. Some of the shots are up in my album now A couple of shots (there are several more in the Album: Night before relaxing at the house we all rented (lovely sunset - had to be done):  A lot of the team about to enter second set of tight/mud/water filled tunnels:  Climbing the cargo nets:  Everest Fail!  Parting shot:

Great shots Rich. Were you using fill-in flash for first and last shots ? Lighting is very good.

First is on the D3s with the SB800 pointing vertically upwards but with the little white bounce card extended, The last is on the D200, using the 10-20mm Sigma, no flash but a lot of processing, first in Lightroom and then in photoshop.

Thanks JK, for comparison this is the original shot without the processing (other than my Lightrrom default for portraits which is the default sharpening with camera calibration for portraits and a very small vignette added. Attachment: untitled-5081-2.jpg (Downloaded 50 times)

Nice shot Rich. That would be a good candidate to do a perspective 3D effect border with his left elbow out of the frame.

Thanks Eric, I might give that a go. I have a sequence of shots that show Jac (my wife) missing her jump and catch on 'Everest' which is a large half pipe they have to sprint up leap and catch the ledge or the hand of someone strong enough to pull them up. The sequence (below) shows her missing and sliding back down. Any ideas how this could be presented.
