Alek, I did the Megavalanche in the summer which is semi DH, and would have done some of the SDA's if I'd been able to get an entry. It's so much more expensive than XC though...

I hardly buy any now, do so many events that they stop being 'special'. It's only when there's a really good photo I buy it.

The last one I bought was one of Joolzes from 24/12. [url= http://www.joolzedymond.com/photocart/index.php?do=photocart&viewImage=48213&q=905 ]here[/url]. The proper A4 print is awesome, very good indeed.

I buy the odd one or two, if they're half-decent or if I've had a really good day. I don't take any pictures myself really, and it's nice to have a few to give an account of what it is I do with my time. 🙂

Oliver Coats is indeed a good photographer. Dont think much of his fish supper delivery skills though.

"pic taken by an amateur photographer at the race"
that looks far better than the bought one personally

^ totally agree.

With a few exception, most of the ones "bought" on here are appalling.

Oliver Coats has some pretty impressive photos on his site too, but again the ones bought are terrible. Take for example the original photo posted by the OP: what's in focus/sharp in that?! His elbow?!

Why on earth you people are buying some of these photos is completely beyond me: surely the memories are better than some half hearted photo, prob taken using a remote on a set position.

JD's photos are however, all, fantastic.

That's a bit harsh V83 - a slightly blurry photo can bring back the memories whilst not being technically perfect..... Wouldn't offer them for sale myself, but I'm a perfectionist 😀

Just out of interest, how much are you chaps paying for, say, an A4 print, and do you buy them on the day or afterwards?
