I took a few poor images for the
Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon 2011 "Torch Relay" on Oct. 14. At least one is in today's blog entry in
DeHaan Services: "
Records and Relays Before the 2011 Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon".

Actually, I had tried taking several images before and after this one; but the digital camera did not register them.

Unfortunately this was the best image I captured.
Writing Tip
Today's writing tip is about photography, for those times you want to take pictures to cover some event.
My prior experience in capturing images for articles has been with "still life". I could arrange some object, snap a photo, check the result and try again.
Today I had to point and click while people were working on their own schedule.
Writing Tip: Practice with the equipment and under trying conditions, before the main event. Know how to focus, zoom and take the pictures quickly.
