He says he's not doing it again next year


This guy looks like he's in great pain.


And then he squatted down and stayed there for a while, got me worried for him, but I think it's just a muscle cramp.

Erhh Medic, we think someone needs your attention.


Hey you! Bring this man to the ambulance.


And off they went.

Stretching his muscles.


Why are they all removing their shoes?


So the number chips attached to the athletics' shoes clocks their time. They are removing the chips to exchange for their finisher medals.

This guy had already done so.


Lady needs three drinks!


Littering all around.

TS,
many very interesting and candid shots. Thanks for sharing.

Noticed your pan shot was as slow as 1/15 and yet maintained steady subject, did you use tripod or monopod?

Hey bro don't call me TS leh, I'm your Little India comrade remember?

BTW I started using Photoshop liao, thats why got EXIF details unlike last time when I used Arcsoft.

No tripod or monopod, I use free hands.

The technique is to turn with your hips rather than with your hands upper body. You have to pre-turn yourself first and get your body into tension, and let it unwind while you pan.

In other words, let your legs face the direction where your pan will end, then turn your hips and upper torso till you are at the start of pan position, wait for the subject to run into your scene and start panning by unwinding your hips. Keep hands close to body and press the camera to your face.
