I notice on the Action photo site they are now offering a collage photo as part of each runner's gallery. My husband has a photo of him crossing the line, but I still don't. Does the fact that they have now included this generic collage photo mean that all the race photos are now loaded and I am not going to get a line-crossing photo or is there still hope?

I've got 8 on there now, yet there was only 3 a couple of days ago.
Has anyone who finished in 4:16 or later (4:22 when I crossed the line) got their finishing photos yet? I know they put them on in finishing order so I am hoping they are still working their way to me. My husband finished in 4:02 and has had his finishing photo put up.
Mrs CH and I were holding hands as we finished and hoping to be able to make a feature of the resulting photo...but nothing.
We have a picture of the pair of us wearing our finishers medals (already up on the actionphoto site) but its not the same.
Oh well, if there's no piccie we'll just have to run again next year.

I agree that it appears that the addition of the "collage" photo to your portfolio is probably indicative that that's your lot.
Plus, call me a pedant, or worse, forgetful, but is that a picture of this year's runners running round the Cutty Sark, or a short from a previous year? I'm sure there was scaffolding and the like up all round that bit...
but
i sifted through the unidentified photos today and found 2 more of me. it was a bloody painful process though and some photos are so dark that you can't see much within.
You may have to resort to this as a last resort???
There may be hope for others.
I look hideous though!!!! but the have managed to get BigBen in the photo too which is cool.
Crash Hamster and Ironwolf, what were your finishing times? I am really hoping that they haven't finished yet because I would hate to have missed that photo. It took me three years to get a ballot place for this year - I may well be too old to be photogenic next time I get in ;-)
Fingers crossed that you get sorted out with a photo.
We finished in 5:15:32 chip time, so we may be near bottom of the pile (hopefully!)
Action photo said pre-flm they would 'automatically' send out to every runner photos 4-6 weeks after, with all the 'clever' stuff like finishing time, etc added.
Is this the same as the stuff now on the web site with 'order' beneath each pic, does anyone know which is the best way to deal with this?
It's all a matter of patience it seems!
MTF - I'm assuming that if you order the collage they ask you to specify which pic of you you want added to the blank spot. I am tempted, but have to check A Twist's theory of it not being this year's pictures first.
A separate issue - does it make me a stalker if I order pictures of Paula? It's just I am so impressed by her run I really would love some, but it does seem a very creepy thing to do.
1. No, it doesn't make RC a stalker but I'd like to see their reaction when they receive her request !!! A few eyebrows raised I'd imagine!
2. What are you on about in that last sentence, Monique ?!?!?! Read it about 4 or 5 times ans still don't know what you meant?!
Pardon ?!?! Just about made sense of that one - only just !!!
Go easy on the Baileys !!!
I have an enviable statistic of Paula Radcliffe having set a world best 100% of the times she has raced against me (oh, all right then, run in the same race as me). If they are talking about having to pay her $1m for her next appearance imagine how much I'd be worth!
I've looked at Paulas photos but they've messed up. Where is the one of her holding the medal up and grinning ? Tut tut tut....
No, I really am not a stalker...
