On a very foggy day, January 8th, Holland went mad for the first Ice-skating Marathon on natural ice in twelve years.

While the day before and after were blue-skied and nice and frosty this Thursday was grey, grey and grey… Hmmm, okay: and cold!

Unox, the main sponsor asked me to photograph the event for their ice-skating website, so I headed off at 7 in the morning to beat the traffic which I managed easily, arriving at a quarter past eight (had to be there at nine). Still slightly dark I saw the “Masters” skating their first rounds, not a very good thing to shoot in combination with fog but slowly during the day the light picked up a bit and I got warmed up. Hope you enjoy this series, shot in 16:9 format because somehow ice-skating seems to be made for it!

A very friendly collegue.

Carla Zielman (Women) finishes first in a media-frenzy.

The mens category, I just love that little cart. Must have seens aeons of ice-skating.

Sjoerd Huisman brings in fame and glory!

Also, two publications from the AD Newspaper:

Alwin de Quartel & Kees-Jan van der Klooster

Some images from the Dutch Ski Champs in a way too warm Austria. Besides a few too many stressed out parents it’s really a nice sport to photograph. The action looks really good really quickly and there’s plenty of atmosphere to shoot as well.

Full series coming next week.
