Conditions on the day where rather poor, and I'm afraid the weather conditions made it rather difficult to get any good photo's this year. The major problem was caused by the overcast conditions meant that at the first site (South Farm) I could not get enough light to give a high enough shutter speed to prevent blurring on several images. I chose the second location on Butser hill, as according to the weather forecast conditions should have improved by then. As always the forecast was a little optimistic. The mist at this location meant that light levels where again rather low forcing me to use the flash to try and get some useable shots. Using the flash in the mist was perhaps not a wise choice. Several images where unusable due to the water droplets which had accumulated on the camera lens obscuring the runners faces, if it was not for the clanfield joggers supporter holding the umbrella to shield me from the rain it would have been more of a problem.

I had given some serious thought to not posting any images on the web this year as they are not of the quality I would have liked, but in the end decided to provide the useable images as you would at least have something to remind of why not to do the event next year! (So see you all next year). I have learnt a few lessons from trying to take photos in such bad conditions and have a few tricks up my sleeve for next year if the same conditions occur.

If you would like a FREE full size copy of any image, please e-mail the image number to alandunkdenmead@aol.com and I will e-mail the image file to you. Please note that the images have been taken with a 5 Mp camera and files sizes can be around 2Mb+ in size. For those of you with dial up internet access, the e-mail will take apx 12 minutes to download. I will try and e-mail the photos within 24hrs. If the e-mail does not arrive please check that you have sufficient space in your e-mail box to receive the e-mail before requesting the image again. Some ISP's give people very small mailbox's storage allowance (no names!) and this could be a reason why the e-mail has not been delivered. Another reason for non delivery can be due to spam filter's used by several ISP's meaning that your request was blocked or my response was blocked.

I'm sorry I can not offer prints of any image. If you require a print please suggest copy the image onto CD-ROM and take to your local photo shop for printing. You have my express permission as copyright holder to do this as long as the image is for personal use.

The site design is a bit rough and ready, I will improve it in the future if I ever get some spare time. My aim also is to keep the site simple as many of you browse the site from work and a fancy site's tend to get blocked by company's firewall's etc.
