I signed up to run the LA Marathon, which takes place March 1 of next year. This is tangentally related to photography because, when I began training this month, my first thought was to carry my camera with me.
Now, even a camera as light and fun as the Nikon D40 is not so easy to go jogging with. While I’m debating whether to go with a Canon or Sony little pocket camera, I’m making do with my camera phone.
And the junky little camera is all right – the digital equivalent of a plastic toy camera. A little toying around with Aperture yields passable results. The following two pictures were taken just walking around my neighborhood.
And the following two pictures were taken along the equestrian trails in Walnut, CA. This was the first time I have ever gone running on those trails, and they are a really wonderful place to walk or jog. The wide dirt path is much better than concrete, and there is a good amount of shade thanks to the very fragrant pine trees. Check out the trail map here.
