Runners

The London Marathon took place on 22nd April. My cousin was running in it but I didn’t manage to take any pictures of him : ( It’s a bit of a mission finding anyone in such a big crowd. Nevertheless, I took some random shots – they’re nothing special; it would have helped if I’d had a) a better lens and b) a better view!

So, I used my trusted 350D with the lens I’m starting to hate – 18-55mm. Too much depth of field. Horrid stuff.

Funky headgear

Looks like she’d had a bit of an accident

There were a lot of patriotic outfits

People had their names on their shirts which enabled the crowd to cheer them on personally. It was very cool how the crowd were so encouraging to everyone.

Poor piggy..

A policemen pretended to join in

The weather was lovely – a bit too lovely in fact. It was one of the hottest marathons to date, so wearing this couldn’t have helped. I think the expression says it all.

A great marketing idea, eh?

I found Borat!

Is niiice.

Or not.

Looks like Superman was enjoying himself a bit too much here Eeek.

I think it’s highly courageous of all those who took part. All of the shots were taken about two miles before the end, so virtually at the end of the 26 miles..insane. Personally, I was exhausted just watching! I’m a weakling.

Completely random but from the same day

We love Tony Blair.
