Admittedly looking on that website the photos aren't exactly the best quality (all the ones I saw seem to be a little overexposed) but I do think charging £1 is also taking the piss. This is the reason why I gave up trying to do photography professionally, as I agree that everyones got a camera now, and most people look at photography as pointing and pressing a button. Charging a reasonable amount now is difficult as that mentality has devalued the artform.

For the photos they had of the bikes, I'd say £5 max. £15 would be of the quality I've seen on the canvas and poster prints at my sisters house from major events, where exposure and focus, and everything else is just right. I would love to see the exif data of one of their images to see just exactly what they were using and how...

yeah I rode there and back (hour each way) was completely knackered afterwards though, had some mates that drove up with bikes in vans/on trailers that seems better.

Doing it again on 6th October at the same place, you are more than welcome to come if you want, a long long way for you though. It £60 for the Saturday.

I would say there is less chance of you binning the bike here than there is on a normal saturday blast out on the roads, no traffic (except other bikers), no pot holes, no oil, super super grippy surface (basically the sandpaper you get on roundabouts and tight bends) it is a great experiance and would recomend it to any rider.

Did it again on sunday was lots of fun again although I had a couple of 'moments' on the first session which knocked me abit soon got back to being a nutter again though.
