Pics are In

The race pictures from the Chattanooga Waterfront Triathlon are in!!


I really like the peeps at Brightroom. They do a great job taking race pictures, and this set is no exception. If you are interested, you can see the full range of pics here. I realize these peeps need to make money and all, but I wonder if they would sell two to three times as many digital packages if they didn't make them so damn expensive? Just sayin...

ORN: 3.4 miles, 35 minutes, ~10:17 mmp

Strong pics again, Wes! You take the best finishing pictures....When you going to post a video on how we can too get great finishing pictures. I know if they could slice the cost in 1/2 i could actually have one I could frame besides the tinniest jped eva!

Sarah said...

Nice job - great shots!! I usually buy one and then use Snagit to get my shots for digital preservation ;)

Marcy said...

Lookin good Wes!! Real good!! Is that a bit of a smile I detect in that last pic? ;-)

I KWYM on the pricing. YIKES!

Makita said...

Those are great! You look strong, focused, determined and HAPPY! I bought pics only for my 1st marathon. I keep telling myself that when I BQ, I'll buy those too. Otherwise, there would be so many and as you said, they are so pricey! If the photogs ever capture as good an image of me as they did of you, however, I may have to reconsider.

Great pictures. I need to take some lessons from you.

I use firefox browser, so even if you cannot right click on an image, there is a way to save the pics on the site, though they arent really big enough to print

Stef said...

Wow these are AWESOME! You have indeed perfected the finish shot. And of course you look good in all of them.

I was cracking up at the bright green swim cap, both here and in Kevin's pics.

Very nice pix! you look very strong and happy!

Gotta Run said...

You look so focused!!! Love them all.

I agree about the cost. It needs to come down.

Just in time to redecorate my family room. I was in need of a focal piece right above the couch. :>D

I hear you on Brightroom, they were at Utica and gah, the prices plus shipping....sorry, I love to support the supporters, but my pockets only go so deep!

BTW, great pic's Wes, you are totally my inspiration!

I think $4722 is a fair and resonalble price for a 3 x 5 picture. I mean, it IS an real glossy paper for goodness sake.

Cheapskate!


P.S. Brightroom, I am available for sponsorship!!!!!

Great pics! You look strong on the bike. I also like the more close up one of you running...you look like you're enjoying it!!

Darrell said...

Nice pix, man. I agree that the pix are pricey, but it's all supply and demand. They obviously are making money at this price so need to to lower it.

TriShannon said...

Great race! Although I do not agree with you when it comes to photos. Oh wait, that is not Brightroom's fault I look like I am dying in every picture. :-)

I think one of my new training goals is to have enough energy at the finish to throw my hands up as high as you do! Great pics!!

Jess said...

You look FABULOUS and FIT and STRONG! Yay.

Shouldn't you be willing to spend hundreds of dollars on pictures?

jkrunning said...

They look great! I agree about the pricing stuff.

Mendy said...

Yep, agree about their pictures. Wes, you did awesome and so wonderful to hear your PR on the swim! I just got done reading your report. Congratulations on a great race, and especially under those conditions.

That pic is great!

Michelle said...

Great pics - you're a very photogenic racer : ) I agree on the pricing, though - it's ridiculous how much they charge!
