ELEMENT STATS
The Flight Centre Cycle and Trail Run Epic is one of our biggest events of the year. With so many events across the 12,000 acre property of Hidden Vale Adventure Park, the Element team was out in force to capture it all.
Element had five separate photographers over the weekend.
We had five individual photographers sharing the load, with three on Saturday and four capturing the blue ribbon event on Sunday.
The Element team used a range of cameras to capture all the action.
Approximately 12,000 photos were captured by our team.
Six editors worked tirelessly to edit and tag all the photos.
With 12,000 images to sort through, Element worked around the clock with different editors working both on and off site to get the photos to you as soon as possible.
The photos were edited and online within 36 hours of the event finishing. Photo by Element Photo and Video Productions.
With a team of six editors clicking away, we were able to edit, tag, and upload all 12,000 images to our website in record time. This means that the Element team averaged an incredible 10.8 seconds per image! This was a huge achievement and we are proud to have raised the bar again with our quality and speed of delivery.
WRAP UP
This was an amazing event and is something we look forward to each year.
The team behind the Flight Centre Cycle and Trail Run Epic do a phenomenal job. Not only was the event a huge success, this year it raised a whooping $10,000 for the PA Research Foundation.
We hope to see you at the 2019 Flight Centre Cycle and Trail Run Epic!
