Anyone interested in the idea of a photo day? Meet in a central location, ride out to the trail, play with cameras while volunteer photo-gimps career madly up and down the same piece of trail several hundred times. We'd probably need a couple of volunteer photo-gimps, and a location where a few suitable trails can be found within a reasonable riding distance - no point in riding for three hours to the photo stop!
We could even consider the possibility of a social stop afterwards to review pictures if anyone were to bring one of those new fangled set-top computers
I've a few photo locations in mind close to me (Marple, south east of Manchester, edge of the peak district), along with a central meeting point and suitable venues for post-ride discussions, but am happy to travel if there's a consensus to go elsewhere.
(with apologies to Marsdenman, we tried several times to do this last year but with weather, family and other things it never got off the ground - hoping with more people involved it might stand a better chance of happening!)
Oh yes - If you want to volunteer as a photo-model, all comers will be welcome - I'm sure that out of a day's riding in front of so many cameras, you'd be bound to get at least ONE good photo (and sore legs from covering ten times the distance of all the photographers)!
although I'd like to learn a bit more about creating better pics, as I'm often jealous of some of the amazing shots that appear on here from time to time.
