[Flambeau]

As mentioned above this year I thought I'd be prepared and took my compact camera. Sadly I wasn't that prepared, not knowing the correct route and how long the actual ride would go on for (with stopping points as well). I was too nervous to go to the starting point at the Level, I thought I'd stick out like a sore thumb (single, fully clothed male) but having looked at the other pics here I probably will next time. Its also damn tricky taking pics when they're on the ride as you can easily miss a great girl while concentrating on others, while they don't cycle that fast its fast enough (unless you're lucky enough to get a cycle jam!). Also I'm more of a backside man but as full frontal nudity is not something you see very often it was difficult for me to choose front or rear (I was also hoping for some spectacular backsides in knickers, as also a big knicker fan). So next time I'll also take frontal pics earlier then go to another part of the route to take rear shots.

Another final mistake, after missing shots, was to start using 'burst' mode. Having no previous experience with this it look great on the camera viewer but when I got back home I realised it took the resolution way down, sadly apart from the first few all the others are 'burst' mode. Still I learnt a lot that day about my camera!
