This past weekend I grabbed my camera gear and headed down to Cascades MTB park to cover the the Cycling SA Cup series KZN leg. It has been a while since a major event has come to the world renowned trails of the Cascades forests, so I wanted to make the most of it.

Every event I cover, I always motivate myself to challenge myself by trying new things and trying new angles. It doesn't always work out, but photography is a constant learning process. I do like to photograph things differently, I want an image to tell a story rather than just take a tight shot image of a rider.

I  do like to see things differently to other photographers, but at the same time I love to learn from other photographers, try their ideas, or use their ideas partly to create something different. Shooting a while back on the Cape Epic with Greg Beadle and his crew, gave me a great chance to learn and see things differently. Also, over time I have come across some of the worlds leading photographers, such as Craig Kolesky, who have given me great advice on trying new things, its a great learning and teaching process.

As you may be able to see from the above images, all athletes prepare to the start of their respective races differently. Sometimes its a great chance to catch up with friends, to see how they feeling for the race, or sometimes its best to relax and stay focused on the job at hand.

And once the the race is done and dusted, the winner always celebrates in victory, which is very well deserved after a hard challenging race. Well done to all cyclists who raced, you should all feel like winners.
