Manchester Marathon

Yesterday I went to the Greater Manchester Marathon to photograph the event. I felt like this would be a good opportunity to use time lapse, to capture the athletes in motion.
These are some examples of the raw images I took.

I want to take these photos further using editing and layering skills on photoshop. I want to try to bleach out the background areas of the photos and just keep the exciting marks in of the movements.

I really like the colours and shapes that are created from the fast pace movements of the runners.

The fluidity of the images creates an interesting shape that I have been trying to replicate in my sketchbook.
