Budapešť 2017: cvak, cvak, cvak, cvak (click, click, click, click)

In Budapest 2017,Worlds by Peter Sukenik / 29. júl 2017 / 0 Comments

It’s always the same for breakfast; the only thing that is changing are the guests. Italians have replaced Indians and the Japanese :-)

I’m getting on the train in the underground after the jingle and as I sit down I write a report from the previous day.
I usually manage to write it during the journey.

In the photographer’s room, I book positions for shooting by the pool but right away, I’m letting one of them to my colleague, who was left with none.
So Simona Baumrtova can have nice pics too :-)

I cannot tell one day from another anymore and even though I finally know the system, it’s basically still the same. And the creativity fades away :-(
Click, click, click and again click, click, click… :-)

Already in the first heat, there is a false start. Fellow doesn’t have a good day.


Na raňajky je stále to isté a mení sa len osadenstvo hotela. Po Indoch a Japoncoch sú to najnovšie Taliani :-)

Do metra naskakujem už po zvučke, sadám si a píšem report za predchádzajúci deň.
Cestou metrom to tak akurát spravidla stihnem.

Vo fotoroome si objednávam pozície na fotenie pri bazéne a vzápätí jednu z nich púšťam kolegovi, na ktorého už voľná nevyšla.
Nech má Simča Baumrtová pekné foto :-)

Už sa mi tie dni zlievajú a aj keď už v tom nachádzam systém, je to v podstate stále dokola to isté. A kreativita ide do hája :-(
Cvak, cvak, cvak a zase cvak, cvak, cvak… :-)

Hneď prvá rozplavba a predčasný odskok. Chalan nemá dnes svoj deň.

Barbora swam 50m butterfly. I didn’t have much chance to shoot her in the water.
Fortunately, I asked her in advance if she could smile for me. And she did :-)
Baška plávala motýlik 50m. Moc šancí na foto z vody som teda nemal.
Ešte že som ju dopredu poprosil, aby skúsila vykúzliť úsmev. A podarilo sa :-)

Karolina, that’s a different story :-)
She is constantly hidden behind the flags :-) , but I took a nice pic of her on the start.
To taká Kaja, to je iné kafe :-) Furt sa mi schovávala za vlajočky :-)
Ale na štarte sa mi vydarila…

I found two other Slovaks in the audience.
Can you recognize them? :-)
V hľadisku som našiel dvoch ďalších našich.
Spozná ich niekto? :-)

I’ve got an invitation for the closing ceremony today.
I haven’t been on such an event yet but since I’m already here…
It takes place at night on Sunday.
Dnes mi prišla pozvánka na zatvárací ceremoniál.
Ešte som na takom nebol a keď už som tu…
Bude to v nedeľu v noci.

Lunch was delicious, especially some kind of creamy green pea soup, that was quite something.

During the break, there is a volunteer race taking place in the Arena. Nice :-)

Obed bol dnes výborný, hlavne také nejaká krémová hrášková polievka, tá bola fakt super.

V Aréne cez prestávku prebieha “volunteer race”. Milé :-)

During the finals, the atmosphere is amazing again…
Na finále atmosféra opäť výborná…

Sarah has even been petted :-) and I found a new view for shooting the medallists.
Sarah aj vyhladkali :-) a ja som si našiel nový pohľad na fotenie medailistov.

I even got to sing a bit. Russian anthem :-) even three times :-)
No a dokonca som si aj zaspieval. Ruskú hymnu :-) a dokonca trikrát :-)

The evening is a routine.
I post the report on the blog at 2 AM and hurry to bed :-)
Večer už len klasika, o druhej ráno postujem príspevok na blog a mažem pod perinu :-)

Budapešť 2017: Júlia a jej zdvihnutý prst (Yuliya and her pointing finger)

In Budapest 2017,Worlds by Peter Sukenik / 26. júl 2017 / 0 Comments

What interesting has happened today?
Surprisingly, it was all about swimming again.

In the morning, there were Katka Listopadova and Andrea Podmanikova representing Slovakia in the pool. I think their photos turned out pretty good. I even changed my clothes because of Andrea :-) I changed a light blue bib for a dark blue bib so I could take photos of her swimming breaststroke from front.


Čo sa dnes udialo zaujímavé?
Kupodivu sa aj dnes opäť hlavne plávalo :-)

Doobeda sme mali za Slovensko vo vode Katku Listopadovú a Aďu Podmaníkovú a myslím, že ich fotky mi celkom vyšli. Kvôli Adi som sa dokonca aj prezliekal :-), svetlomodrú vestu za tmavomodrú “pool bib”, aby som ju na prsiach mohol cvaknúť spredu.

I managed to work on morning photos, both Slovak ones and the ones for SwimSwam, during the break. Then it went much quicker at the hotel in the evening.

It went worse with the photos from finals, I didn’t handle that completely. However, the photo of Yuliya Efimova with the pointing finger after she missed the world record just by one hundredth of a second had success, as well as series of photos of Yui Ohashi finishing second after Katinka in 200 IM.

Fotky z doobedia, či už tie slovenské alebo podľa požiadavky SwimSwam, sa mi podarilo počas prestávky celkom dobre rozpracovať. Večer na hoteli to už išlo celkom rýchlo.

Horšie to už bolo s fotkami z finále, tie som úplne už nezvládol, ale fotka Júlie Jefimovej so zdvihnutým prstom, potom ako o jednu stotinu sekundy zaostala za svetovým rekordom a takisto séria fotiek Yui Ohashi, druhej po Katinke na 200m IM, mali celkom úspech.

Others were celebrating too. Among them, Sarah Sjostrom and Adam Peaty celebrated both becoming World Champions and breaking Championship records.
Radovali sa ale aj ďalší, Sarah Sjostrom a Adam Peaty okrem získania titulov majstra sveta, aj z rekordov šampionátu.

I have to mention also the atmosphere in the Arena when Katinka finished. Home audience was cheering for all Hungarians but the noise after her finish was overwhelming.
Nespomenúť sa nedá tiež atmosféra v aréne, keď doplávala Katinka. Domáce publikum povzbudzuje všetkých maďarov, ale po titule Katinky to burácalo naozaj poriadne.

What else?
I managed to stand in other photographer’s view twice :-), I had time for lunch even time for a pleasant chat and I finally bought a swim cap for my Maťko :-)
It’s nice and for a good price, 5100 HUF (about 17€) :-)

Originally, I wanted to take a few shots of EYOF, since my accreditation applies to that too. However, I decided not to. And I heard I did a right thing; they said it was quite a chaos over there.

So, that’s it for today. I hope that those guys looking like Indians who love to make a noise around 2 AM will soon come to senses…

A čo ešte?
Podarilo sa mi počas dňa vliezť dvakrát iným fotografom do záberu :-), stihol som obed a dokonca sa aj príjemne porozprával a kúpil som svojmu Maťkovi konečne čiapku :-)
Pekná a za “ľudovú cenu” cenu, 5100 HUF (asi 17€) :-)

No a pôvodne som chcel ísť včera pofotiť trochu aj EYOFku, kde mám akreditáciu tiež. Nakoniec som sa ale rozhodol, že nepôjdem. No a vraj som urobil dobre, vraj tam bol celkom chaos.

Takže to je na dnes všetko.
Dúfam, že chalani, čo vyzerajú ako Indovia a ktorí celkom radi robia v hoteli hurhaj o druhej ráno, čoskoro prestanú…
