From the first set 1 and 4 are good but 2 is distracting with someones finger in it and 3 the motorcycle guard thing is distracing also. Keep it up Is that Sonia O'Sullivan? Thats a nice shot, I like it.

Thanks for the comments RUU. It is Sonia O'Sullivan alright. I don't know the other runners but I'm told a lot of them are well known too.

Unfortunately I couldn't stop people jumping in my way or the guys on the bike stopping right in my field of view. I decided not to crop them out because I felt I would lose more that way.

This is the motorcycle

What camera did you use for these photos?

Looks like a big enough event, never heard about it till now tho, were there many people at it?

There were about 7,000 runners and I used my usual snapshot camera. I am one of those who doesn't blame his tools for his faults.

Anyone have photos from the zoo meet?

Would have gone if my new camera had turned up in time.

Nice shots!

Number 3 in the guys race is Mark Carroll, he's quite well known. And number 5 is familiar, James something i think.

*offtopic* there's a thread for that meet! It was only 3 of us there, Fajitas, Eireroaduser and me. We all took pictures but Fajitas was shooting analog don't know when his pictures will be up. Mine will be up somewhere this week as I have a lot of pictures from yesterday to go through first. Sorry you couldn't make it, it was fun!

*ontopic* Number 1 and 4 are pretty good.

I heard on the news that #1 in photo 1 won the men's race. A lucky coincidence I think.
I don't know if there were many boards members in the race but I will put up some more snapshots of "non-elite runners" when I can process them.

These are my snapshooter cameras Shrimp. I do have some older cameras and will try to get details for you asap.


I bought this in a camera shop at the St Stephen's Green end of Dawson Street.


I bought this in Lidl but the Elvis strap came from Graceland.

Couple of good pics of Jolene Byrne (No. 53). She is hot!

I'd like to see a few more shots of her to compare before I firmly decide that she looks like an emaciated octogenarian... Cos she does in the shot above. (Unless that's what you're into)
