I only found out about the event on the same morning the event was scheduled to start. I enquired through QL if I can take photos and I got a positive reply (although no flash was allowed). So i took it from there.

Yes I see your point about big guys in big chairs :)

Raver,

I was just being sincere, really.

I also like photography and I totally agree with you.

That’s why my compliment. I think your pics are a vivid example of what you said!

Unfortunately, I wasn't in Qatar during last weekend and so I did miss the show.

I was here during the Asian Games and had the chance to have a taste of what you experienced last weekend.

Keep on with your good work! And next time, I suggest you approach the local press on the same day and show them your work. Hopefully there is someone there with some sense that would choose to publish in the front page one of your photos (rather than the boring usual official photo of big guys sitting in big chairs ;)

WOW Lusitano....I am very humbled by your kind comment. Really thank you. Like many other things in life, one is always learning, and the same applies to photgraphy. Nothing compares to capturing a moment in time, which one can look at over and over again, reliving the story that the picture tells. The saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" certainly is true.

It is not often that I get a chance to shoot action shots here in Qatar, so this event was a blessing. Yes it was a spectacular event and the two days were very enjoyable. I tried to capture not only the action of diving, but the ovetall atmosphere, by taking closeup shots of the divers. I am very pleased with the results

Thanks again...

Did you go to the event?

This is what happens when a good camera is handled by a good photographer in a spectacular event!

One or more of your pics should have illustrated the first page of the local newspapers, the day after the event!

Too bad they haven't seen yet the power of photography!

Congrats!
