For my front cover image I will use a portrait wide shot of an athlete running on a track. I like this idea as it will help me set my colour palette. I will use natural lighting and edit my picture as needs be in Photoshop.
My contents page will feature a tilt shot to add something new to the magazine. I will use this time an image of an athlete in a Cornwall county vest to show the high level of the athletes featured in the magazine. Again I will use natural lighting and edit my image in Photoshop as needed.
My double page image will be of an athlete doing steeplechase as that is what my article is going to be about. I would like to get an image of an athlete going over the water jump as I think this will make a good image with the water everywhere. A wide shot will give the image a better feel and show the audience what is around the athlete. I will have this image in black and white to create a more dramatic effect. This will also make the article stand out among the others in the magazine. I will use natural lighting and change the f-stop on the camera to allow more light etc. I will also edit the image in Photoshop as needed.
When shooting live events, it may be very difficult and sometimes not possible to get the exact lighting I need for a particular image. This is because I am unable to ask an athlete to stop during a race, to pose for me to take the perfect picture. However, I will position myself in the best place for the duration of the race, where I am able to get the best natural lighting for the image. If i am unable to use natural lighting, I will find the best place to use a reflector, for that added light effect. In terms of shot types at live events, it can be difficult to get close to the athletes if they are on the track for example. In this case, I will have to make do and use the correct angles for where I am positioned. When athletes are running, it is difficult to get all of the images you need from one angle anyway. Therefore, moving about for the duration of a race, enables you to capture a variety of images from just the one race. If the race is a sprint (a short race, less than 400m), it is probably best to stay in one place in order get the best shot types required.

Would be good to explain the challenges of shooting live events with the lighting etc.
