Five-Ring Circus: One Last Look at the Olympics

A Reuters blog post today goes behind the scenes of the recent Beijing Olympics to show just how photographers captured all of those photo finishes.  "Photographing the Beijing Olympics" is a multimedia presentation by Lucy Nicholson.  It includes some of the photographers' best shots of the athletes from around the world as well as pictures of clumps of photographers all poised in their race for the best photo.  The piece also includes interviews with Reuters photographers sharing shooting techniques and notable moments in the stadium. A great second look at some history-making moments this year.  -- Dexter Hill
