Marathon turned into a Fun Shoot

[jennie]

Hi! I joined a 5k marathon last weekend..(after so many years!?!..couldn’t even remember the last one but i had more stamina at that time..) I am not really a morning person but woke up at 4:30 am to go to the venue....I didn’t do much running though coz I had to stop every now and then to take pictures..(and portability is really one of the advantages of P&S..haha..)..my muscles ached after that but no regrets coz it was all for a good cause - greater awareness for climate change..

.. hope you enjoy the view and any blur may be due to fatigue..i must be getting old..lol..








The venue is the University of the Philippines (my Alma Mater)

Gorgeous shots, Jennie!! I love that first one...beautiful tree!! Sounds like a fun run!! But...where's your avatar??? I miss that cute face!! LOL TFS

Firstly Jennie, congrats on the run! And what a great cause too. But almost as important was taking these wonderful photos to share with us. I love them all, but that first one is spectacular - what fabulous trees! Hope the aches are easing a bit now!

So that's how a photographer does a run! You're not going to break any records stopping to take pictures along the way though. I can understand how you had to, the light was phenomenal. Like your first one the best!

Hi Nicky! tnx..the aches are gone now..carrying my P&S made the 'walkathon' much bearable..the trees in the campus i think are hundred years old and they surround the place beautifully..

Wow Jennie, I get tired just taking photographs. You do a marathon AND take photographs. Well done on both the run and the shots. And BTW I think Jim and I may start a petition entitled "Bring back the Jennie avatar", cos we miss your smile. PAUL

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

I had no idea you were such an athlete Jennie, and I'm looking forward to the pictures of you and fellow runners during the race.
In the meantime these are excellent. Four stunning pictures with great colour and long shadows as the sun streams through the trees. My favourite is the second that has a end of a really good day feel about it, as people apparently make their way home

Jennie, these are great! So glad you took your P&S and took time to see these wonderful shots. Thanks for sharing them with us.
