London 10k run - Canon 70-200 f4.0L lens action

[dk]

My brother did the London 10k run on Sunday and I thought I would get some action with the 70-200L lens (all shots were using this and the sport mode on my Canon 50d), its been great for motorsport so i thought i would be good for some people movement action, and it didn't fail me.

Took around 250 photos and over 200 were keepers. A selection of which are below, sorry there are so many, I am terrible at choosing which ones to show and which not as i like so many of them.

Got some great DOF shots and the bokeh was pretty good too, very happy with the results and a good chance to perv on some hot athletic types too!

this was about 200m from the start LOL - wonder if they finished...

no idea what this thing is supposed to be, looks scary.

thought this girl was fit

then i saw this pic lol

29659 would get fisted with the power of greyskull

26657 not so much

i thought 24939 looked a bit like britney.

The L lens is amazing, best £500 i ever spent, its never let me down, so fast and so sharp every time, an idiot could use it and get good pics (and I do )

a couple more of fit bird for you

multiburst ftw!

 

[Dafthead]

I almost just did my own multiburst

What time did he do it in? Would of liked to of done this race.

80 mins, which is what i predicted, was his first ever competitive run, as you can see, hes not exactly in the peak of fitness but fair play to him, he trained for it and did it all without walking (which is what he wanted to be able to do), i couldn't do it so I was proud of him.

Wicked pictures mate, very nice glass. It's so worth spending the extra when it comes to lenses.

 

[Andy.]

Nice shots. Makes me regret just selling my 70-200. *sniff*

 

[dk]

it's one of my cheapest lenses yet easily the best, love it.

Thought about going for the f2.8, but i'm not sure its worth the extra weight and cost, the 4L is just so versatile as it is, bargain if you ask me and everyone should own one.
