Images are up!!! 2000 shots of swimmers, bikers, and runners – and all of you getting wet on all three events! As always – incredible athletes – very inspiring, and intimidating! Thanks to Terry and the race organization for inviting the crew at Brockit Inc. to serve in an official capacity again this year. Thanks also to studio manager Captain Meghan who organized the logistics of equipment and shooters for this event – on a day where we also had two teams covering weddings! This year’s Copperman was notable for the ‘rain event’ – whoa… I’m not sure where everyone was for this part of the race, but assistant Whitney and I took shelter under tree branches and Gore-Tex, sheltering gear for what can only be described as a torrential downpour while intern Emily jumped into the back of the timing trailer at the finish line. Again, you all are die-hards. Always so great to see some of our favorite athletes from Copper Harbor to California that come up for this event. Thanks also to Gowtham who joined the Brockit team for the weekend of shooting.  Gallery here!

Also – check out the highlight slideshow, featuring 150 images of rock-star triathletes. Click on the image directly below… and again: the full gallery is here showcasing 2000 images from the race for purchase as digital or print.

A final congrats to all racers this year. Awesome job on the trails – thanks for being colorful & photogenic. The weather was great and hopefully you all had as much fun as we did – of course I was covered with a lot less sweat and mud than y’all were… In total with 5 folks shooting for Brockit, we ended up with very complete coverage. I love clicking through the beginning of the race which was shot from 3 different angles, in chronological order. Fun! 2860 images in total with the addition late last night of 723 images from intern Rebecca who covered the bridge crossing and the finish line with her D300. Nice job!

— UPDATE (again) —

Finally wrestled Greg’s disk away from Christine at the KBC and shots are uploading as I drift off to sleep. This will bring the total to 2137 images online, with intern Rebecca’s bridge and finish line shots to upload this weekend. Phew…

— UPDATE —

Photos are uploading to the storefront as I type. There is a single gallery with a chronological order to the photos and each you will notice has a tag in the filename indicating the photographer with credit for the shot.

Images are free for medium resolution download (please thank your race organization & Christine Young!) and high-res as well as any physical prints are available for purchase through the site. Enjoy, and thank you!

A quick congratulations to all the racers in this year’s chain drive race in the Keweenaw! Always inspiring, and always a little dusty & buggy… This year Brockit Inc. had no less than 5 photographers covering the event, and in two shifts. A huge thank you to our team: Greg from Juskuz who was shooting on the North end of the course, Chris from XMATIC who was chasing the leaders on the trail and also on the North, our own Emily hit the fields, woods, and blackflies a mile from the finish, as well as Rebecca who camped out at the finish line. We had a couple unique angles for the start as well, so a big thanks also to my buddy Todd from Brassard Media who hooked me up with a boat ride to parallel racers along the canal. While I was breathing boat exhaust, Emily was on the roof of the condos next to the bridge, and Rebecca was standing on the bridge itself. Fun, fun! Give us a little time to compile everyone’s content, but in the meantime, some sneaks from Greg and Chris below.

Pam is a fashion designer with a very distinct style, so we provided some green marble from the old hospital stairwell and a dark studio to offset pink, black & white. We shot Pam’s fashion show a while back, and while this is the same modeling crew, the look and location are new. Kept some high saturation on the colors with a bit of added contrast, and synced a spot removal to fix an annoying speck on the D3′s sensor. Thanks to the random voulenteer from the drawing studio who was able to throw some feathers on the scene. Pam – as always – great work!
