The Runners Camera™<BR>Photo Tip Sheet

1. Take a photo of the starter clock when you pass it so that you can determine your real finish time.

2. Don't be afraid to ask other runners to take photos of you - most of the time, they're very happy to do it! Spectators are also glad to take your picture so get some shots with the best parties and bands on the course.

3. Remember to take pictures of friends holding signs that cheer you on - they make great souvenirs!

4. If you run with a buddy, take turns wearing and shooting The Runner's Camera - it's more fun.

5. Remember to look back and take shots of views behind you. You'll get a broader perspective of the race. Of course, it's not too shabby to show how many people were behind you!

6. Take photos at the top of hills looking down - they make interesting shots.

7. Try to stop when taking photos for best photo quality.

8. Don't shoot into the sun because you'll get a glare - wait until the sun is behind you.

9. Be polite - take photos from the side of the course in order to avoid disrupting other runners.

10. For best results, remember to attach The Runner's Camera carrying clip to the right hand side of the camera where the plastic is exposed. Ensure a tight grip by pressing the camera firmly to the clip and seeing that the fastening strips coincide with each other. Have a great marathon!
