Fuji-X Sport: Long Track Speed Skating

[GilBarib]

Hi !

 

Here's a few pics from the Canada Cup no1 Speed Skating Championship held in Québec City during the weekend.

Shot with a X-T1 and XF50-140mm + XF1.4xTC combo.

Raw with PP in LR6.3, sharpening and noise reduction with the Nik Collection

 

The rest of the set is on Flickr: https://flic.kr/s/aHskqQxYJW

 

Thanks for looking...

That's probably the clincher for me.  I moved from Canon to Fuji two years ago for street photography, fine art, landscapes.  Everything except sports, for which I'm still using a 1D.  These great images say the XT-1 is sports ready.

Thanks !

It's a little early in the day here in Québec but I'll accept the drink anyway, let's have a toast to the Fuji-X team of engineers and technicians for the good work !

Beautiful shots! I have an X-E2 and had trouble focussing slow skaters on an ice skating rink! Any tips or camera settings? Thanks.
