GERRY CRANHAM : Interpreting motion
Gerry Cranham is a well - known and widely published British sports photographer . He is celebrated for his skill at interpreting motion in color . Most sports photographers concentrate on capturing detail and pro- duce " frozen " images of event winners crossing the finishing line . Cranham pro- duces blurred images of an event , sacrificing detail to communicate movement and effort . In his pictures he aims to convey the particular characteristics , energy , and ex- citement of each sport in a way that even the non - enthusiasts can appreciate .
Like many other specialist photographers Cranham combines an interest and know- ledge of his subject with his photographic expertise . He was once an athlete himself and this helps him to understand and recog- nize the crucial moment when action is at its peak . In sports photography split- second timing is all - important . The critical moment must not only be recognized but anticipated . Cranham travels widely to different sporting venues , in each case putting in a great deal of preliminary research before the event occurs . He plots locations and angles of view and selects what equipment he will need . In addition , he studies the nature of different types of movement whether it is the serve of a tennis player or the running style of an athlete so that he can convey the indivi- dual qualities of each sport .
Cranham makes use of every technical tool at his disposal to produce his images . His photographs are created entirely within the camera , rather than in the darkroom , by means of a variety of filters and lenses .
For most purposes he favors the Nikon range of 35 mm SLR cameras , sometimes with a motor drive attachment , but he also uses radio control when he wants to place his camera in a position where he is unable to stand , such as on the track at a race meeting or inside the foliage of a steeple chase jump . He uses a wide range of lenses including extreme long focus mirror lenses , prisms , fish - eyes , zooms , and wide - angles .
His range of equipment is matched by his technical versatility he will use a combination of zooming and panning to explore the effects of movement on color and line , or pan slowly at a slow shutter speed to follow the flow of a particular movement . Cranham will often take advan- tage of the atmospheric effects of heat on the track or wet or hazy weather conditions to create delicate pastel colors .
T.T. Race , Isle of Man , 1967
An impressionistic image created by a combination of selective focus and panning the camera at a slow shutter speed .
Kempton Park , 1975
Cranham used a very fast shutter speed and wide aperture on his 500 mm mirror lens to take this picture at the racetrack . The long focus lens foreshortened the pers- pective and magnified the horses and riders , emphasizing the sense of effort and concentration .
Silverstone , 1978
Cranham took advantage of the blue haze and diffused light created by a rainy day to convey the at- mosphere at this race . The picture was taken with a 500 mm mirror lens using a fast shutter speed .
Sprinters
Panning with a zoom lens at a slow shutter speed , Cranham turned the group of runners , below , into a blurred kaleidoscopic pattern of brilliant colors .
