laird387 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Hi otf, If anyone at your trial is taking photos at any of your events, with a modern digital camera and could let me have copies of their photos along with a copy of the results showing the riders names and riding numbers, then I will publish a fully illustrated photoreport in my digital magazine. You don't need to be an expert photographer, 'cos I will crop, edit and make them suitable for publication, and your club gets totally free permanent publicity - and remember I don't just show the winners - there wouldn't be a trial without all the also rans, so I give them just as much exposure - everyone deserves their fifteen minutes of fame........... If anyone is interested, just drop me an email at 'offroarchive@gmail.com' and I will explain all. Please note: this ONLY applies to classic or twinshock trials - and the whole digital magazine is devoted to our classic sport and the history of the sport.

laird387 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Hi otf, Let's be optimistic, I would be very happy to help. For anyone wanting to give it a try with a camera, here are a few tips. Head on shots of riders coming towards you don't make a good photograph - most front wheels and forks look alike, and you rarely get any idea of the section. Shots taken three-quarters front or full side on are usually far more interesting, specially if you have found a nice vantage point with the light (sun if you are lucky) behind the photographer, as long as a riding number is visible so that we can identify the rider. It is best not to zoom too close, you lose the surroundings that set the 'atmosphere' of the event - and in the pre-press stage I can zoom and crop anyway - always better to have too much in the picture so that I can crop to the pictorially interesting - than not enough - in which case I'm scuppered......... But remember you are there to enjoy yourself as well.......... Cheers Deryk Wylde And remember, your own name will always be included in the captions - so you get the recognition, in ORRe every photographer is identified.
