Well, i finally shot the marathon today.. it was rough.. downtown was an entire mess and i couldn't get anywhere due to road closures (navigating from one point to another point on the course was a huge pain) I end up running almost as much as the participants -_-.

Here are a few shots of the day.. Also, i bought my 2nd body.. a 7D and also got my nerdy little hands on a Canon 300/2.8 IS

Video..
