There were other photographers being ticketed with 'yellow cards' (i.e. first warning notes), while others were being told in no uncertain terms that they were no longer welcome, and had to stay a certain distance away from the entrance area. These guys weren't particularly smart though, and were just going right up to girls to shoot from inches away - so they only have themselves to blame. Anyone acting respectfully and taking a few casual photographs was left alone. The best thing is to have some patience, take it easy during the assembly portion of the day, and then focus on getting your shots later on.

Rather than using mime artists to deter photographers this year, there was just one girl seemingly playing the role of a Chicago gangster. She was quite obnoxious, getting in people's faces and holding her own phone right up to their face, but I didn't have any interactions with her myself.

There seemed to be many, many girls in the 18-35 range, and I noticed at least half a dozen who stripped naked on the beach having worn underwear during the ride itself. Stay tuned to Flickr and the usual channels, as I reckon there will be some awesome photos this year.

Thanks for the feedback, perhaps this is why more babes turned up this year I wonder? What about the rest stops, was it a similar story there or were snappers allowed a bit more freedom? In my experience, going back a few years, was that some snappers are a bit stupid, get a small camera with a good optical zoom, don't linger on women, there really is no need to invade personal space. Were there clothed snappers on the beach this year, for me that is a little bit OTT.

If you get naked and have a bike they don't seem to mind if you have a camera. The fully dressed gawkers that don't ride are the ones people don't like. At least in my WNBR experiences.

One guy reported to the police for taking pictures in a public place. And the cops bollocked him for that. Sign of the times. Glad the sun shone in Brighton but I was very happy not to be there. I look forward to the snaps everyone took. Those that weren't hauled away on the say so of the feminazis, anyway

But how can they be strict or enforce any photography rules. It's a public place with no exception of privacy so anyone can take as many photos as they like

My assumption was that anyone outside of the assembly area would be able to do what they like, because - as you say - it's a public place. But I guess the organisers feel a duty of protection to those taking part, so intervene in cases where people are generally being intrusive and blatantly over-stepping the mark.

True, I suppose they can intervene but they cannot stop one taking pics.
