Primed and ready. - a photo on Flickriver

Primed and ready.

            The professional photographers here were obviously employed or sponsored by the same group - all with the same hats, vests, Sigma lens and Sony cameras - and the same bored expression. It made me realise the freedom I have to photograph anything that "takes my fancy" or to just leave.  These guys were there all day, and were only photographing the race competitors. ( A job rather than a passion).

The UTMB is a 170km loop that takes runners through three countries; France, Switzerland and Italy. On many occasions the course goes above 2,400m in altitude as competitors follow the Tour Du Mont Blanc route. The race begins in Chamonix and heads anticlockwise to Saint Gervais, Les Contamines and La Balme.
