I tried to take some pictures of last Sunday's Houston Marathon. The cloudy, dim conditions weren't the best for taking pictures, but I'm sure the runners enjoyed it. There were 3 out of 4 course records broken that day.
All shots were taken with the K100D and either the DA50-200 or the SMC300 F/4.
Around mile 8 with the DA50-200. Pretty dim. Shoulda used the 300 F/4.0.
A runner passes a water station. Taken with the DA50-200.
At the finish line, taken with the 300 F/4.0. How did anyone get through that mob?
A few of the participants, taken with the DA50-200.
Next year, I'll get there at the start, take some shots of the crowd starting out, then go to the finish and camp out for a shot of the winner.
