I'd been looking for something to shoot this weekend, and on a local running club site I saw it was the Lancashire Cross Country Championships 2008.
The site said Ladies at 1.45 and Mens races at 2.00. So as it was only 20 mins from me off I went at 12.30 in plenty of time. It turned out that there were many age group race before the main event with the first start at 11.00 am, so I missed alot of the event.
I was expecting there to be a few dozen runners maybe up to 100. In fact there were nearly a 1000 in total ranging from under 11 to over 60.
Another reason I wanted to shoot some action/sport images is that I am trying to take images where I have to do very little cropping. I want the subject to fill the frame when I take the actual shot. I think I am getting better but still find it very hard to do.
