England v Italy – Women’s Six Nations, 2015

I was looking at my archives and I soon realised, that apart from Instagram (where I have since deleted them), I have never shared a lot of my action sports photography here.

This is going to change moving forward.

Every so often, I will be sharing with you one action image from my archives as part of “On the Pitch”. I figured this will be a good way of showcasing some of the images I have taken at sporting matches / events that I am able to get access to.

Race Day

On Race Day this year, I started off at Embankment with the Coca Cola London Eye as my backdrop for some of my shots. I then moved on to the finish line where I could capture some of the runners as they finished their race.

This year a friend was running the marathon and I managed to capture her as she crossed the finish line. It was not an easy task seeing how many people were finishing at the same time, but the London Marathon App really helped as I was tracking her race.

I am always in awe of all the runners and inspired by them just taking part, be it as an elite runner, for charity or just themselves, that I actually entered myself for the London Marathon 2020 ballot.

Eeeekkk!

I don’t know if I am successful or not until October 2019. Wish me luck!

Have you run a marathon? If so, care to share training/running tips.
