What, no watch shots? This is me Sunday finishing my half marathon. In my defense I was well over the line
Poor finish line camera placement here.
I like to call this one "Kiss me, I just ran a half marathon"

How to get the perfect race finish photo?
Easy.
Get diverted and finish the race some 35 minutes before you were supposed to. Then smile.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
I look my best blurry!
My first finish line photo ever at my first HM. I think I should wear a little make-up and smile. PGH I didn't even think to look up. Can't wait to see what that one looks like. I was definitely happy both times!
I don't know about perfect, but go here and type in bib 775 for some amusement.
I decided to be goofy. I had fun.

Those were AWESOME, Dan!
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Very nice. Too bad you didn't know the camera was there for most of them, you could have hammed it up a little.
You'll ruin your knees!
..anybody else notice how it says "DICKS" right above Dan and the other guy? Heh!

One day I decided I wanted to become a runner, so I did.
By the clock it looks like your finish line-crossing celebration lasted more than 9 seconds. Just move through the chute, man... just move through the chute.

You definitely have flair! Coolio! I'm not sharing my PGH half photos. Bag of bones in motion is not pretty. Eeeew! Maybe posing with DH and hunky shirtless dudes later.

Looks like a BQ time. Nice.

Since we are revisiting this thread, I had to share a follow up... Practice makes perfect! After a rookie move in 08 when I failed to capture the 'N' , a completely unmentionable 09 attempt, I nailed it this year...well, except that you can't see the 'T'. I'll give it another go next year.
