A couple of months ago I was asked to submit some of my images to the World Sports Photography Awards. I know this may sound weird to many of you, but I never really enter contests. After some coaxing by my friend, I decided that I would throw some images out there to see if they would be considered.
More than 2200 professional sports photographers from over 96 countries around the world submitted more than 13000 images to this year’s competition, and there were some unbelievable images that made me feel like an amateur.
I looked through the list of finalists and was blown away. I figured that there was no way I would stand out in this crowd!

I felt very honored this morning when I heard that this photo of mine won an award. It was one of my favorites from the Summer Olympics in Paris.
I took this photo with my Canon R5 Mark II camera and the Canon RF 70-200mm lens with the following settings:
* ISO 320
* f/8
* 1/2500th sec
Congratulations to all the other winners who captured some unbelievably amazing photos, and thanks for reminding me that I still have a lot to learn too.
