_03/21/10_ Runner in Motion Today I checked out the LA Marathon - it has a new route that finishes next to the Santa Monica pier after passing dozens of LA landmarks. I got this shot at mile 26. I experimented with a lot of shots, such as focusing on shoes, faces, panning with the subject, and purposeful motion blur. I like this shot because I find the different blurs very interesting (from panning the camera and his body moving). I desaturated most of the background to make the runner stand out, and added a bit of contrast and clarity. I have some more decent shots, I'll try and post them later. [last year]
