I hate race photos . . .
I hate race photos . . .
Just had a look at my pics from the St. Patty's Day race and it actually looks like I'm on deaths door, LOL. I don't think I've ever been in pictures where I look as horrific as I do in race shots. It's ridiculous actually. I vote that they should be outlawed, LOL

Of course your post just makes me want to see the photo

take that as a sign that you're working hard in races.

I would need to be really impaired, exhasuted after a race, or possibly both before that would happen, LOL

pretty sure no one is blaming the photographer. :P
but I have to say that some race photographers do seem to be magicians... at least Glenn Tachiyama can get me to smile when I feel like death! :)

x1000!!!!! I wasn't blaming the photographers at all and please accept my apologies if that's how it came across!!!!!
I was just commenting on the fact that no matter what I do, I can't seem to get a nice pic of me running. I would actually like to have a nice one, just like some of the shots I have of me fly fishing. I do like the one in my avatar, but it was actually taken from a video frame of a movie I shot.

It's ok...just a bit touchy when someone wants to 'outlaw' my family's income
There was only one photographer on course yesterday; maybe you just need more to choose from.

Race Photographers can't do magic, ya know ... j/k though, they can do a quite a lot with photo-chop ... Next race, when you see a race photographer, just look at them and stop, brush your hair a bit and smile ..
And, one of the added benefits and best trick that I have is, run with one of the owners from Zoomphoto during your race(s) and you will be sure to get a gazillion photos taken ...

Re: I hate race photos . . .
At Red Deer marathon when I ran it, they had signs to tell you that you were about to see a photographer so you could compose yourself. I think the signs were funny, which helped too!

Re: I hate race photos . . .
I thought......I was hoping for a zoom photo someday.
In the mean time, today I made a big joke with my compatriots of straightening up, sticking out my chest sucking in my stomach cuz a photographer was coming up. then I made a big saggy move after that.
Hope it worked.

Re: I hate race photos . . .
I wear dark shades and always seem to have a few good ones to choose from! Remove the shades and I often look like hell so don't feel bad! There are some of course where my form sucks but that's to be expected from continuous shooting!

Re: I hate race photos . . .
Maybe I'll just seek out a trail race this summer and hope for a wipeout before I get to the photo stage. At least the dirt, blood and bruising would give me a shot with some character in it, LOL
