Hi Guys, a few questions for anyone that can help, I'm not taking part in the ride just filming not riding;

Filming at Southampton should be OK, but use zoom from a distance, DO NOT get close to the subject, or you may get in trouble. Keep an eye out for people posing for friends and then either use that moment, or even ask them if they will pose for you. Hang around and wait for the ride to return, an hour later. However the cooling evening usually means clothes go back on quickly.
At Brighton, they are making a females only undressing area this year, however once naked and on a bike, they are 'fair game', do not get close with a camera when people are stripping, it's a volatile time.
At Brighton, the two rest stops (if you can get to them both on foot) and the beach at the end are by far the best places for shots. People are relaxed by then. If you removed clothing (just in your shorts for example), you will have much more luck than dressed as a 'snapper' with a large camera bag. You will need to walk about 3 miles, pretty fast to cover all. I suggest stop two (the public park by the Dome) and the beach (Nudist one, by the marina) will be best. You may get frowned apon filming at the beach from the regular beach users (if there are any), but not from the riders who are full of exuberance by this stage and at their most un-inhibited having been nude for hours!
Please try to get some still shots too. Good Luck!
