There was no opportunity to practice as the runners completing their half marathon were running at a slower pace and further away in their chute. I decided 1\/60 would probably work while panning at 24mm and kept my fingers crossed. I\u2019m satisfied with 2 of the images and the first in this post is my favourite capturing the winner in flight under the gaze of a traditional carving and against the backdrop of the iconic Bath House building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MichaelVoss-NZ7_6259-web.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MichaelVoss-NZ7_6259-web.jpg?resize=960%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Photo of Rotorua local, Michael Voss, completing back to back Rotorua Marathon victories. \" class=\"wp-image-14114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MichaelVoss-NZ7_6259-web.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MichaelVoss-NZ7_6259-web.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MichaelVoss-NZ7_6259-web.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Rotorua local, Michael Voss, completes back to back Rotorua Marathon victories. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photos with Nikon Z7 and Nikon Z series 24-200mm lens<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photos from the Rotorua Marathon 2021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14115,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[29,341],"tags":[859,144,608,228,858,857,441],"class_list":["post-14112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-zealand","category-sport","tag-athletics","tag-new-zealand","tag-nz","tag-rotorua","tag-rotorua-marathon","tag-rotorua-marathon-2021","tag-running","entry","has-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
