Since the White Rock Marathon is a big event, two PJs were assigned. Chris Hamilton and I coordinated before the event and established our shooting list and locations.
Chris would start with overhead views from a nearby construction site. He would then drive to White Rock Lake and get runners there with the Dallas Skyline behind them. Meanwhile, I would start in the lead truck. I planned to bail from the truck in the Uptown area, get some shots and walk back to the finish before the winners arrived.
Although sometimes PJs must "wing it," it's often useful to know what, when and where to shoot. It reduces redundant images while ensuring complete coverage of a relatively predictable event. We'll discuss this more in the future.
Enough for now,
