Photo AlbumRunning 14 km to Bondi Beach with 70,000 people!Aug 14, '06 5:11 AM
for everyone
The Sydney Sun Herald City2Surf Fun Run! This year, I was one of the 70,000 people who made the run from Hyde Park to Bondi Beach. Two and a half hours babeh! I didn't know I could walk that far.

Me, Lucy, Ron, and Trish ran for clean energy!

It was one of the best experiences ever. And here are all the best pictures.

ANG SAYAAAA!!!

I didn't run, I power-walked ;-) I can only run for 5 minutes at most haha.

I did train a bit though.

The colors are so vibrant! :-) Do you mind telling me your camera's model? Thanks :-)

alabira wrote on Aug 15, '06
Sony T1! I tweaked the colors just a little bit in Photoshop of course. IT always helps.

Oh ok. Thanks! :-) But when you use your DSLR, do you still tweak the pictures?

Often, yes. I think digital media and photoshop go hand in hand nowadays :-)

A few days ago, I heard some silly news from some radio station, Z100 to be precise, that in Australia, a group of guys stole a trampoline that were caught by the policemen because of the suspicious looking huge thing they were carrying around 1 am. The thieves were dressed as smurfs.
