Well, good morning dear Friends, good day Photography Lovers

Today I continue with photos taken in May 2019 during the first half marathon in my city. I have already written in previous posts about that event and how happy it made us, the event and us photographers, and we photographers made the runners happy.

This will be the most dripping part of this series, so take a look.

And before I start posting all the selected photos, I have to try to illustrate and prove with one example what it means to have "the eye and heart of a photographer". In the second post, or rather in the selection for Today's HotShots, I received a comment from our dear @castlebbery which reads:" I loved how the billboard in the background has a mom and daughter spraying the waterhose at the exact place the runners are passing through the mist! I don't know if that was intentional but the framing of that composition and the happenstance of the possibility even being available is miraculous!
(refers to this photo)

And my response to that comment: " I have to admit, my dear friend @castleberry... That billboard was there three months before the half marathon and it was really a coincidence. But when I found out that the water hose would be installed in that area, three days before, I went to the location and looked for a good angle. And I found it 😉😉

So, dear friends.... Apart from the equipment, whether it's a camera or a cell phone, it doesn't matter much... A photograph that has its own story needs a good eye and a big heart.

Let's move on to the photos now.

By the way, the motto and message of this half marathon was: "I live running ..... With a smile to the finish line!!"

I'm ending this part of the drop race with a photo that shows how much support the runners have for each other, it was wonderful to see and immortalize it.
