The olympics are a bit of a photographers dream, especially one interested in sports photography...but yes, I totally agree Re the rules.
It tends to show in the photos, whether the photographer knows the rules of the sport being photographed. Quite often it amazes me how a professional will know, or atleast expect, a particular sports person to perform, know their strengths and react to particular key moments.....I guess it only comes from following the sport and knowing something about the people behind it?
Did you get the chance to try and photograph your colleague?....Fencing photography strikes me as a bit of a challenge in timing!
