SPLIT SECOND MEMORIES CAPTURED BY A FAST TRIGGER FINGER

Here is a few highlights captured by our photographers Sharyn and Chris who have now taken photos for both OPAF 2 and OPAF 3.

It’s a massive challenge to capture split second moments in a dynamic environment like OPAF so we are forever grateful for the skill set that both Sharyn and Chris brings to the table.
