Just looking at my Brighton snaps - definitely better than London, not least because I used my 70-200 2.8 most of the time. Here are a few samples at nearly full size that might make the Flickr upload (I took about 1300 snaps).

What I'll most likely do is upload a fair selection to Flickr, then put any of the more popular riders (where I have several images) on here. Will try to keep up to date with the thread and add any popular girls from London too that I have more of.

For Flickr, I try to maintain a reasonable standard, where possible. But at an event like this, the odd elbow (or bloody iPhone!) in shot is almost unavoidable at times.

Despite my general feeling of antipathy towards snappers, looking at the actual pics shows that many smiled, waved and were generally quite happy being snapped. The one good thing with using a big grey lens is that no one can say you're trying to hide what you're doing...and as it's a professional lens, the majority of people realise you're a fairly serious snapper and not one of the properly dodgy lot.

You just have to get naked! Then they almost always are happy to pose, with exception of those teens, everyone I asked let me take close-in posed shots, yesterday.

Just one more for Fango! If she did not have pierced nipples, she would be a real 110% cutie for me.

Getting nowhere fast with this Flikr problem, tried most the fixes, but when an uploader makes it difficult to save their work, it's now even harder than it used to be, using the thumbnail page.

This new page layout is also DL the photos and more often than not, hitting back after a search takes you bloody 'Kittens' too! I'd like to kill the people who built this! I will just post my own stuff (when I get it out of the camera:mad:) and we will all miss out on Flikr stuff here.

TBH, not sure how serious the blue hair/wigged girl was. Because she said to me, are you a pervert? And I said, yes, I'm going to take a few snaps of you and then go home and masturbate myself into unconsciousness :D And she couldn't keep a straight face (snaps will follow).

I was going round saying 'yes, I have clothes on, I have a camera, just pass me the sex offenders' register' :eek: :p Seemed to work. Having an elephant trunk also helps (large L series Canon lens). People just assume that no perv would either carry something so obvious or invest that sort of money to get a few shots of ladies' bits, and they're right. I had good banter with (most) of the stewards, various police officers, many riders and even some Christian type who tried to convince me I'd go to hell for thinking improper thoughts about homosexuals :confused: :p

A couple of the stewards tried to whip up bad feeling towards all photographers who weren't naked. Totally out of order, I thought. I made one sit there and look through my pictures with me till he conceded there was nothing dodgy on my card. Yet one thought it was perfectly acceptable to ride up say 'I see the perv brigade are here!' with a wave to the snappers gathered, several of whom were pros working for various media outlets. And another shouted various abuse as the riders descended to Madeira Drive at anyone with a camera.

As far as I'm concerned, it's largely these idiots ruining what would otherwise be an absolutely fantastic fun ride. The people taking part are mostly happy to see snappers, so long as you're not some obvious weirdo trying to take snaps of their genitalia from three inches away. But there's a small element on both sides poisoning the event, sadly.

This was my first time at either of the big WNBRs - previously just watched the smaller ones at York and Manchester.

One of my (many) favourites from Brighton was this girl - she was tall,elegant, beautiful, utterly relaxed and confident about her own nudity and had a friend (who also went naked) who was clearly much much shyer about the whole thing. Individually they were great but the interaction between the two even better.

I'm not sure if its been mentioned yet but this girl also rode in the 2011 Brighton WNBR. First two pics from this year, the rest are from 2011 (the necklace and belly button piercing are a dead give aways).

OK, I'm putting out a bounty: The first person to post a decent picture of this babe (the brunette with the killer body) from the Chicago ride gets my eternal gratitude (cash value: $0.00). She my annual "I think I'm in love" girl. I need to see pictures of her, preferably high quality full frontals.

Thanks

They probably thought you were joking. Had they known you were posting the images up on websites like this they probably would have told you where to go. I'm going to be at the next ride and having seen where the bike ride images are ending up I am making very sure to keep my clothes on which is a shame because I was really looking forward to getting my kit off in the spirit of the event. I've been chatting to some fellow WNBR riders and they are furious and disappointed that their images are ending up on sites like this as it's not in the spirit of the ride at all. I applaud Brighton for having a fenced off area for riders to get ready.
