Stansted Slug/Slog 2008

A very pleasant late summer day for a run, perhaps if it was a little cooler then the conditions would have been ideal. I noticed that several of you seem to have suffered some mishaps judging by the number of cuts on several runners. Good to see that many of you still had a sense of humour at the end of the race. Several runners decided to take their dogs with them this year .... apparently many dogs felt they could have done better times if it was not for their slow owners holding them back

I was at 2 locations, the first point was just 1/2 mile from the start - click on this link to see the photos  First Location Photos

The second location was about a mile from the finish - click on the this link to see these photos Second Location Photos

I have included all the images that would give reasonable prints ... its quite interesting to see how some runners facial expressions change within a few seconds ... i leave you to chose which images you like instead of imposing my choice on you. You will notice that the second location images don't look as vibrant as images taken at the first location. At the first location I was using a modern Tamron 28-75 f2.8 lens specifically designed for digital cameras, the second point I used my old f4 70-210 Minolta lens designed for film cameras as I still waiting for sigma to release the 50-150 f2.8 lens in the Sony mount.

If you would like a FREE full size digital copy of the image, e-mail the image number to alandunkdenmead@aol.com, or use the request image link at the bottom of each photo. I will try respond to all request's within 48hrs. If I don't respond within 24hrs please allow a few more days before requesting the image again just in case I'm away.  If I have still not responded, please try using a different e-mail account as your e-mail/my e-mail response could have been zapped by a spam filter some where in the e-mail chain.

All images can be freely used for personal use, running club websites and running club newsletter's etc. The copy write notice is only their  to deter anyone from trying to sell my images commercially.
