Anyway here's an Al*my photo with a better angle. The link is ridiculous but I didn't want to tiny URL it as that would give a live link. She's so handy with that fanny pack that these are real rarities; if anyone's such a fan of her that you want to shell out £12 for the full image I'd appreciate a copy as a finders fee!

I’m sure the website uses the stuff after the “?” for something, but you can get to the picture without any of it:

yeah, but its a low res image. You can actually see something in those pictures if you edit the levels.
But in high res, it would add a lot more definition. I dont feel like paying for it though.
We need to set up an OCC users fund for this kind of stuff

Although I have noticed this:-

Cancellation policy – 30 day money back guarantee

If you haven't used the Image/Footage file you can cancel the Licence and get a full refund within 30 days of the Invoice date.

You'll need to send us an email sales@alamy.com, with the Invoice number (e.g. IY11110000) and the Image file number (e.g. AT4WHG). If you cancel, you won’t be able to use the Image file and you’ll need to remove it from your archives.

so if someone feels like going through the effort, its possible to get it for free.

Interesting thread. 2017 was my first WNBR. I really enjoyed the experience and have no problem being photographed by respectful photographers (lots of my pics have been posted here - I'm 'real person' and 'VIP'). Flickr is great as I'm usually tagged there (by somebody) which I prefer as it enables me to keep a record of photos of myself. And I'm grateful for some of the great photos that I have had taken of myself.

London was particularly uncomfortable however. I started at Hyde Park and the scrum of photographers was pretty full-on. Some literally jumped in front of me and got run over (by the many riders). You can generally see from my expression where somebody has leapt out from behind a tree in order to take a pic. I think this kind of behaviour is unfortunate and will definitely put off potential (female) newbies...and in general it is the women who are targeted in this way. As far as I'm concerned there is no need for this to happen as if I'm asked politely by a photographer if they can take my pic I would be happy to oblige - and in general (from my experience) most other female riders feel the same way. There are 1000s of photographers taking pics along the routes so anybody taking part does so with the knowledge that they're going to get snapped (unless they're incredibly naive).

The other potential issue that I can see that may be turning people off from taking part in the WNBR is what happens to the images once they are processed and ready to be revealed to the world. I love to show off my pics but not everybody feels the same way. Anybody taking part must realistically accept that images will appear online (hence disguises perhaps for some) but I think sometimes things get a bit out of hand and the potential implications could prove too much for some. The prospect of trying to establish true identities and inappropriate commentary are things that potential WNBR riders never quite anticipated when they signed up to participate. If images were merely viewed, shared and appreciated without all of the weird stuff I'm sure a LOT more people (female riders) would be happier to participate.

My experience has been fantastically positive and I appreciate the support but I am perhaps coming from a different place where I love to be photographed and love to have people see the results...respect, politeness and general decency is all I ask for.

Well, we will be attending our first nude event this year, it will be the Finnish naked race "NAKKUKYMPPI", there are alot less participents and alot less photographers than for ex the london WNBR. And we also plan on going to the Brighton wnbr, and lets face it, my fiance is one hot 39 YO mother of 2, and she will certainly get photographed over and over again, this is acutally something that might put us off from this event.

Neither her or I are the least bit shy, we are nudists whenever possbile, and this photo was taken outside a nudist camping in Sweden, then i photoshopped it a bit as a poster for the Nakkukymppi, she is Finnish and i am Swedish and we have really been looking forward to join some nude races. BUT, there is this factor of too much photos getting spread in the wrong way on the net....

The nude run in Padasjoki won't be a problem. As you probably know, it's off the beaten track, only about 3,000 people live there, and a lot of the race is in woods and fields.

I'm always interested to find apparently new images on Flickr, images that may have only recently made it online.

The attached are a selection from Flickr user Mara K.

And following my last post here are some of Brighton that I've never seen before.
