Stunning images - take a look - SV650.org

For all you sports fans out there, or those who enjoyed the Olympics, or just anyone who can appreciate a great photo, take a look at this album put together by Tom Jenkins.

In these days of HDR, Instagram and overt use of Photoshop, these images are pretty much untouched in post production as it isn't permitted by the Guardian who he works for.

There are some stunning images in this selection, but if you want to see more then his book is well worth a look too. I was lucky enough to be invited to the opening night of the exhibition that went with the book's launch this summer and it was breathtaking. I'm doing my C&G Photography Level 2 and I'm going to do my profile on Tom as we often work together at Lord's when he covers the cricket.

Great images. No wonder he's an inspiration.

Impressive, not only for the images he produced but also as an insight into the planning that made them happen.

Some people take great photos... Others use pc software.

Good homage to photographs being about capturing moments, not graphically modifying reality.
