Amazing Sports Photographer

So the assignment is past, and I've already shown this to Mark and Amanda, but I still think this sports photographer based out of the UK, Bob Martin, is someone that would be worth looking at if you want to get some ideas to try for improving your sport photography.

FYI, the donut-shaped bokeh in some of his photos is from a mirror lens -- technically a cheaper way to get some of the longer telephotos, but some people still like them for that look.

Here's one of his most famous photos, from the 2004 Paralympics:

I loved his profile. Great sports shots from a different perspective. The shots in the Tough Guy feature was really cool, especially the photos of the guys climbing up the netting and stuff!
