Pursuant to that, since these were from London, and the previous visible ones were uploaded last August, of Brighton's WNBR, is anybody here his f/f, who might thus reveal what's in the ones he uploaded 3/4/11, which peons like yours truly are blocked from viewing??

I just signed up, there is no hidden pics not sure what I uploaded on 3/4/11 that you can't see, as far as aware only blocked from downloading. I am thinking of putting all the pics on cd.

This was taken about the time I left, it was getting cold, so almost all the girls had put on clothing

Here are the shots...........

I had to swap to my old camera as ran out of battery power on the new one - I now have more batteries as it would not take a cheap copy battery unless a chip was in it.

I also had issues with sun did not have a filter at time but test shots were okay then it went dark on a few good ones. More a camera issue I THINK but will use lens hood and filter.

I do have more beach pics, I have not uploaded them as was saving them for a competition.

I find the situation now to be just as you describe - the largest images are "b" ones and 1024x576 in size. However, the versions I collected back in June (in the days after the event) are "o" ones ... and 4864x2736 in size. Which surely means that larger "o" versions exist somewhere - perhaps even on Flickr (if we only knew how to access them !)

I had 2 cameras some maybe smaller I need to check I have found flickr buggy lately when I disabled downloading on some as some people were reposting.

Anyway I will probably have them on cd/dvd in full size soon.

Alas, he dropped or damaged his camera on the London ride and the focus of all these shots seems to be very poor with loads of blurring on anything that moves

Having said that, the huge amount of shots give a great idea of what the ride was like, although they are not great for collecting clear shots of the naked riders.

He did at least get a shot of the mystery fully naked american girl that I rode with for a few minutes. She was really 'buzzing' about being able to be stark naked in broad daylight in a shopping center street! I told her about Fremont (which had not heard of), so perhaps she will turn up there next year? I cannot believe how she has escaped being the centre of attention of the ride snappers, she was so natural and very happy to be naked. When I encountered her, she was stationary at the side of the street chatting to a policeman! She was at the ride alone too!

Here are the photo collections if you want too see them.........

I think the previous ride in london damaged the lens the cobble streets on the camera or the stabiliser was on or off or it was my tripod - some of the brighton pics on ride were too fuzzy and so were not good, but I made up with it.
I changed to a different tripod method but not sure if this worked against the camera or not- I have a new tripod method for this year and may use a helmet camera too. - I tried remote control photo shooting but for some reason it would not work properly on the day despite the test shots being okay on previous day.
I had to go carefull on the day that my best camera only had limited power supply I now have more than enough.
I will do more test runs prior to the next ride and hope to have better pics and improve the focus of pics when riding. The london ride was difficult to take pics on route as sometimes it was so quick and without a police escort it was hard to get in a smooth rythm of pics in focus when riding.

(They're still being updated as I type, incidentally).

No worries only just signed up and found the link.
