This is a photograph from the Ringtown Hurling Club Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races, fun runs, and walks which were held in Whitehall, Castlepollard, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Easter Monday (April 6th 2015) at 11:00 and 11:15 respectively. Ringtown Hurling club is situated in Whitehall which is on the R394 between Mullingar and Castlepollard. The half marathon started outside the GAA club. The 10KM race started about 1KM away from the start/finish area. Both races shared the same route. The race event was also a fundraiser for the charity TEAM (Temporary Emergency Accomodation Mullingar) which provides emergency accomodation for women and children of the midlands who are subject of domestic and sexual violence. They are located at Teach Fáilte, Green Road, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath. 55 participants took part in the Half marathon while approximately 85 participants took part in the 10KM.

The half marathon started at the GAA club. The main loop of 6 miles started here at the GAA club and proceeded around some beautiful rural back roads with major turns at [goo.gl/maps/8Iw9S], [goo.gl/maps/in6yE], and [goo.gl/maps/JJzwM] before joining up with the R394 and Castlepollard and returning back to Ringtown/Whitehall. The 10KM race was held on this same route but having departed before the half marathon the participants were mostly infront of the main field in the half marathon.
This was the GAA club's second hosting of this event and the overwhelming reaction of participants was that it went perfectly again following on from last year's very successful event. There was a team of Motorcycle outriders and Gardai who expertly controlled traffic flow (particularly along the very busy R394) and made for very safe running conditions for all participants. There was a wonderful selection of refreshments provided afterwards and maybe people were able to sit out in the sun and enjoy a well earned rest after the race. Shower facilities were provided in the GAA club.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

The collection was started by the revered art dealer and collector Heinz Berggruen (1914-2007) after whom it is named. Born in the Berlin district of Wilmersdorf, Berggruen fled Nazi Germany in 1936 and emigrated to the USA. He first worked there as a freelance journalist reporting on art and culture and in 1939 was employed by the San Francisco Museum of Art. When the war finally ended, he founded a gallery in Paris that represented many artists whose works Berggruen began to collect privately. He also developed close friendships with many of these artists. Over four decades working in this area, he rose to become one of the leading art dealers of his time, especially known for his collection of drawings and prints by Pablo Picasso. In 1980, Berggruen closed his gallery so that he could dedicate himself solely to his art collection. He concentrated primarily on those artists whose works now form the heart of the collection at the Museum Berggruen.
With more than 120 works by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), the Sammlung Berggruen offers a broad insight into the artist's entire oeuvre and artistic development. Beginning with a study from 1897, when Picasso was just sixteen, to works from his Blue and Rose periods, his 'Au café-concert' from 1902 and the 'Seated Harlequin' from 1905, as well as a series of works from his Cubist period, including 'Houses on the Hill (Horta de Ebro)' from 1909, and later works such as 'Matador with Nude' from 1970.
This is a photograph from the start of the Tullamore Harriers AC "Quinlan Cup" Half Marathon which was held on Saturday 26th August 2017 in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland at 11:00. This is the fifth year of the event. The race is organised and promoted by Tullamore Harriers AC. The race starts on the Charleville Road just outside the entrance to Tullamore Harriers. The race proceeds south along the R421 and onto the N52 before taking a route onto local back roads. The race then completes a large rural road route before it joins to the R421 again and the final 1.5 miles are the same as the first mile of the race. The runners enter Tullamore stadium and complete one lap of the tartan track before the finish line. The course is challenging in places with some undulations along the route. But overall it is fair course. 2013 seen the first year of the event as the club commemorated the 60th Anniversary of the formation of Tullamore Harriers AC which today is one of Ireland's best known athletics clubs.
We have a large set of photographs from the start and the finish of today's race on our Flickr Photostream: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157685695893933
The race was chip timed by MyRunResults - their website is www.myrunresults.com
The race was perfectly organised. The weather was good for racing but there was warm summer weather for the entire race which made for warmer than usual running conditions There were stewarts all along the route, 3 drink stations with bottled water, superb facilities, and great after-race refreshments. The stewards along the route provided great encouragement to all of the runners. Tullamore Harriers and the local community really worked together to make this is a wonderful event. There was also a relay option where teams of two can run approximately 10.5km each.
As mentioned above this race half marathon started in 2013 and celebrated the 60th Anniversary (a Diamond Anniversary) of the foundation of Tullamore Harriers AC. The club was formed in the town in November 1953. However, it was almost 1979 before facilities close to what we see today open in the present day site. Over 50 provincial and national athletics meetings are held at Tullamore Harriers every year. The facilities available combined with it's central geographical location joining routes from North, South, East, and West make it a very attractive venue. The half marathon today firmly brings competitive national road racing back to "The Harriers". The Quinlan Cup which will be awarded to the winning club team. For more than 40 years the Harriers Quinlan Cup was the most prestigious event on the road racing calendar. Having started as a cross-country race back in 1957, it became a road race in 1967 and remained so until 2000 when the race was last held. During its reign as a blue-ribband event the Quinlan Cup was won by the likes of John Treacy and Eamonn Coughlan.
Today, the facilities at Tullamore Harriers are the envy of many athletics clubs in Ireland. The facilities provided by Tullamore make it one of the premier venues for local and national level athletics in Ireland. There is an Olympic standard tartan track, a fully equipped gym, changing facilities, press and media facilities, meeting room spaces, etc. The club also provides a social center and niteclub which makes "The Harriers" a very well known on the local social scene. Esssentially, the town of Tullamore would be a different place if it weren't for the presence of Tullamore Harriers AC.

Day two in Brisbane and have three nights stay then back to New Zealand. August 9, 2014 Queensland, Australia.
Hibiscus flower in the City Botanic Gardens (formerly the Brisbane Botanic Gardens) is located on a point known as Gardens Point on the Brisbane River adjacent to the central business district of the city of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The gardens area has frontages on both Alice Street and George Street.
The roughly triangular park is bordered by the Brisbane River on one side, and the grounds of Parliament House and the Queensland University of Technology's Gardens Point campus on another. The Alice Street frontage stretches from George Street (immediately opposite to Queensland Parliament House) to Edward Street at the Brisbane River.
The Gardens include Brisbane's most mature gardens, with many rare and unusual botanic species. In particular the Gardens feature a special collection of cycads, palms, figs and bamboo.
The Queensland Government Heritage Register describes the Gardens as "the most significant, non-Aboriginal cultural landscape in Queensland, having a continuous horticultural history since 1828, without any significant loss of land area or change in use over that time. It remains the premier public park and recreational facility for the capital of Queensland, which role it has performed since the early 1840s."

From the very beginning of the show...
Tutorial Tuesday – Concert Photography
Before we start the tutorial, I should finish my story about how I got into the Pumpkins’ sold out show in the first place. Ebay? Nope. Craig’s List? Try again. Stub Hub. Not a chance. Scalper? Couldn’t find any.
I was at home, roughly 50 miles from the venue, Ovations at Wild Horse Pass, and feeling sorry for my self. Someone on Twitter said I could sit at home and wonder if I would get in or I could drive down there and find out. My wife literally pushed me out the door, and I was off. After stopping for gas and cash, I proceeded to set the North American land speed record so I wouldn’t miss the entire opening act, “OK Go”.
As mentioned above, I couldn’t find any scalpers… anywhere. I was beginning to get that feeling that I just drove all this way like a maniac for nothing. Then I saw the Ticket window and there wasn’t anyone in line (go figure for a sold out show, right?). I walked up and asked if by some chance there were any single tickets available. The ticket salesperson looked left and right, and said “Why yes, we do.” “How much” I asked. “Merry Christmas, you are going to love the seat” she said and passed the ticket through the window. I must have had a stupid look on my face because she said I better take it and walk away before she changes her mind. Still somewhat in disbelief I grabbed the ticket.
Once inside I see that Ovations is very small and discover it only seats 1400. Intimate. I ask for directions and I am pointed in the direction of the stage. Sweet. 6th row? Nice. Aisle seat right next to the sound and lighting boards? Perfect.
So, I went from sitting on my duff at home and sulking to being in the 6th row, center right and in the aisle for my favorite band. I sat down just in time to hear OK Go do an amazing version of “This Too Shall Pass” with lots of crowd participation. It was going to be a good night…
On to the tutorial…
There are many awesome concert photographers, Jared Polin and Zack Arias come to mind, and they will have much more in depth information and have a much larger body of work. I am going to provide a tutorial from the “fan bringing in camera” perspective as opposed to the “band hired me to shoot the show” perspective. As an initial starting point, you need to know how to change ISO, metering mode, shutter speed, aperture, and shooting modes on your camera on the fly. You don’t want to be fumbling with your camera trying to find a particular menu as the band rocks on and you are missing shots. Also, shoot RAW. You want to have white balance and exposure flexibility in post.
First, you need fast glass; 2.8 or lower is a must. You are going to be in low light conditions and need to hit in excess of 1/100 of a second at a minimum to freeze motion. I went with my 50mm 1.8 for two reasons. One it is my fastest lens, and two it is small. I didn’t want to come in with my 28-75 2.8 and risk not getting in because they mistook me for a professional based on lens size. If you use a lens hood, put it on backwards to help minimize the apparent size of the lens.
Second, set your ISO as high as you can comfortably get away with knowing you are going to do NR in post production. I went with ISO 2000 at the start, dropped to 1600 after a bit and finally settled in between 400 and 800 depending on the lights for that particular song. If your camera has a variable mode you can use that as well. In this mode you specify your minimum shutter speed and the camera will try and get that speed by lower aperture first, and then increasing ISO to a pre set maximum.
Third, change your camera to spot metering mode. Some folks will say to use matrix mode, but I rarely get decent results this way. My thought is that with all the lighting variables on stage at a rock concert I want my subject, typically one of the musicians, to be properly exposed with the remainder of the stage being a secondary concern. Flash is almost always useless, plus you can get into trouble and asked to leave or stop taking pics.
Fourth, put your camera in Shutter Priority mode. As mentioned above, I am most concerned with a quick enough shutter speed to freeze motion. Aperture and DOF is a secondary concern to me for the most part. I went with a speed somewhere between 1/100 and 1/250.
Finally, switch your release mode to high speed continuous or burst. You want to be able to lock focus and take a burst of 3 to 5 pics at a time. This will help ensure you have a properly exposed and sharp photo.
Now you have your base settings. These will need to be tweaked slightly depending on your venue and how it was lit. Shoot away in your mini bursts and don’t forget to rock out. After all, you came to the show to rock in the first place right?
