'Cause Brightroom doesn't separate the 5k and 25k "lost & found" photos, so now if I want to find any of me I must slog through a TON of images...I think there were well over 12k participants. And the bottom unpinned corner of my bib was up quite a bit.  |

Ok, I found 2...
1

But why did they not make sure that both Eryn and I were fully in the pics...it's obvious that we MEANT to be together at the finish...idiots. I should get a job shooting for one of these agencies. At least I KNOW how to do candids...

AT LEAST you got some! I trudged through all the lost in found for my half marathon and my 10 miler and all I got was 2 lousy pictures from my half marathon NEITHER which were at the finish line 
Modified to add: And my number was CLEAR to see. Just bad timing I guess |

They are, aren't they...would have been nice if they had centered us BOTH in the frames, though.
Well, there weren't as many lost & found shots as I had expected. Those 2 turned out to be the only ones of me. That reminds me, I need to contact the Grand Rapids press to see if they had shots of us finishing that we could buy....

Maybe you could give those pics a little clever Photoshop love and stitch 'em together. Uuse the first picture as the basis, but stitch the background (and your right arm) from the second picture. |

I have shot a few events myself and I would guess that the photographers are shooting wide shots and cropping the individuals to simply make more money. They wouldn't want you to buy a photo and copy it... 
That's why I shoot events for free... I love shooting the pics and get satisfaction when I see people smiling at their images or thanking me for "the memory."

I'll bet you're right! And that is such a cute shot of that little one--look at the air she has...what a little natural! I'll bet our Claire ran like that as a little tike.
Your work is beautiful...people are very lucky that you give that away. You could chage quite a lot for what you do and I am certain most people would gladly pay--I would.

| Great shots, Grog! They brought back memories of the many times I've visited Saint Augustine and some of the other spanish forts around northern Florida. I grew up right down the road in Jacksonville and my parents and brother still live there. |

Yeah--I somehow managed to finish a 5k on Monther's Day without any of the photographers at the finish line catching even a glimpse of me. I checked the pics taken of the people that I finished just ahead of and just behind and I'm not there. Apparently I'm just that fast--outran the shutter... |
