10K running pictures advice

[Craig2008]

Hi All,

looking for some tips really, going to have a bash at some running pictures on the weekend at the St. David’s day 10K in Cardiff. probably going to try and position my self between the 7/9k mark hopefully to catch them hitting the wall. Any insight from those have experience would be welcomed

Cheers

Craig

Hi Craig,

Get their early and find a few places to take shots from.

Non distracting backgrounds, and if possible complimentary ones.

45 degrees to the runner rather than face to face.

Panning shots at 90 degrees. Shutter speed less than 1/100

Faces only.

Some good and not so good running pics in my flickr sig.
