Historically it has been a marathon only event but in more recent years a half marathon as well as 10km and 5km fun runs have been added to the day. At age 22, Paul has already completed 3 Rotorua Marathons but has been frustrated in the past 2 years with significant injuries preventing him from competing. Despite this he has gone in to watch the start and support his running acquaintances and this year I went in with him to photograph the start.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8992\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8992\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSCF2516-web.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8992\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSCF2516-web.jpg?resize=960%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSCF2516-web.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSCF2516-web.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSCF2516-web.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8992\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The start of the Rotorua Half Marathon in standard frozen motion with a high shutter speed.

This is a high risk approach as many shots will be uselessly blurred but some will hopefully evoke the feeling of movement with a rhythm and colour. This makes editing easier as many can just be deleted. The odd ones that work can be quite exciting.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8994\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8994\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSCF2585-web.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8994 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSCF2585-web.jpg?resize=960%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSCF2585-web.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSCF2585-web.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSCF2585-web.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Part of the main body of marathon runners crossing the start.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>My approach was to set up a composition near the start gantry to make the location clear and include the local Te Arawa performers in the scene as they are such an integral part of the Rotorua Marathon start.
