Nice finding this morning when I found that Stockholm SwimRun have updated their banners in their web front end with my photos from the last race. 🙂

Flashback Stockholm Triathlon 2015 – planering för sommaren…

Har just haft ett trevligt och bra uppstartsmöte med en tävlingsarrangör inför sommarens foto. Vi hoppas att kommande tävlingar bjuder på lika fint väder som 2015. Bifogar lite bilder från den gångna sommarens elittävling i Stockholm Triathlon. Återkommer med bilder från motionstävlingen lite senare. 🙂

I have just had a good startup meeting with the coordinators of a coming summer event. Let’s hope that we get as nice weather as we had last summer 2015. Attached you can find some highlights from the elite competition of Stockholm Triathlon 2015. I’ll be back later with pictures from the “weekend warrior competition”. 😉

Portrait photos for FREE!

Yes, as you may have seen most photos I have published have been related to either sports or scenery. There is an empty chair to fill – I have decided to build up a more comprehensive portfolio of portraits. I have decided to give away the photo event, the shoot FOR FREE. You only pay for any images you want, and even there I give a 30% discount for those of you who have “Liked” my Facebook page. This proposal is valid through November 2015, for private and not for commercial use and for the good shots that we make (of course we will 🙂 ), I might use them in the portfolio on my website.

If you find this an interesting proposition, drop me a mail and we can take a discussion from there. My mail is: goran (at) dignephoto (dot) com

Spinning profile photo – photoshoot

This weekend I spent a few hours in a spinning gym shooting profile shots. Had the opportunity to also try out my portable studio backdrop. The good thing with the backdrop is that you don’t get to see all disturbing things around the actual shoot. But the bad thing is also you lose some (all?) of the atmosphere in the room – you might as well shoot it in your favorite studio, but then… I don’t have a spinning cycle in my studio… yet. 🙂

I told the boys that you cannot use all pictures as profile pictures in the invitation to your class – you will scare people off. Unless it’s a class for endurance threshold training. Anyway, it was great fun. 🙂

Wedding Rock ‘n’ Roll

Planning an event? Looking for a someone to take some shots (with the camera 😉 ) on your event? Get some inspiration from shots which I took at a wedding of the band playing Saturday night wedding Rock ‘n’ Roll.

Bring your best smile to Velothon Stockholm, 13/9

Hope to see you at the start and at the finish line of Velothon Stockholm 13/9. This time I will temporarily(?) leave my bike at home and instead bring my camera. Make sure your bike is as polished as ever before and bring your best smile to the start – …and don’t forget to keep some energy to smile when you cross the finishing line – I might catch you with the camera. 🙂

Fantastic Weekend at Ironman Kalmar 2015!!

A fantastic weekend in Kalmar have just come to an end. What a terrific arrangement, fantastic audience and 2700 awesome athletes!

The first part, the Swimming was quite a challenge in the tough headwind a (to be in Kalmar) large waves. It was even so tough so that a few athletes have to surrender early in the swim. See for yourself in the swimming pictures, imagine yourself to swim in this…

Once you have browsed the images below there are a few more under the “Portfolio” heading and Subtitle Kalmar Ironman 2015.

Unless anything else stated – any use of images from this site (Private use only) must contain byline text: “Photo: Göran Digné, dignephoto.com” preferably with electronic link back to this site.

Enjoy! 🙂

Upcoming event: Photography at Ironman kalmar, 15/8

DSC_7081

I have just received accreditation for photo access to Ironman the 15/8 in Kalmar which enables some nice shooting possibilities.

Possibility to get free profile picture(s): If you or any of your friends will participate in the competition and if you want some nice profile pictures from the Ironman environment you may ask them to contact me for a ad-hoc shoot if we find it possible.

Also, if you know of any other interest of pictures to be taken either at Ironman or any other similar event, you are of course also welcome to contact me. 🙂

Early morning start with Stockholm Ultra Marathon and then Kite Surfing

The wakeup call got off at 04:05… crazy? Yes, but those ultra marathon runners – they start early! Loaded the car with cameras, fresh batteries, emptied memory cards and some sandwiches, coffee for a day beside the race track. I also took the opportunity to try out some new equipment and to prepare for next weekend in Kalmar – that was good.

Wrapping up around lunch time with a short break. Then headed south to Dalarö where I was to shoot some Kite Surfers. Unfortunately the wind wasn’t too good, “only” ~6m/s. Being a cyclist I thought that was quite more than enough. When I arrived many surfers were in the water trying to get wind into the kite. Björn at Kiteboardcenter guided me about what is was all about.

Eventually the wind came and we got at least some basic shots. I will have to come back sometime later when the wind is at least twice the speed. I am glad I was the one handling the camera and not the one standing on the surfboard. 🙂
