Oh wow, just WOW! That's all I can say right now! Your shots are all I hoped for and then some! This (and the follow-up post) has got to be Post Of The Year!

Generally I think I chose a poor position to shoot from, but I did at least get to capture those shots.

Yes. Yes, I dare say they are OK. Very much OK, in fact.

Amazing, incredible, stupendous pics, Looker! As are the rest of the ones you posted. Fantastic work! Also, welcome to OCC. Hell of a way to introduce yourself to us!

Can't wait to see what else you have, and the video you mentioned.

Thanks

Great work, looker81. I love the looks on the faces of the clothed girls in the background in post #337, especially the Asian girls, and most particularly the dark, Indian-looking girl just behind the Asian girl in the light turquoise shirt. She's embarrassed but also somewhat enjoying the 'naughtiness' of it all.

I learnt a lot about where to stand – and unfortunately where not to stand, to get good shots. Still trying to work out if it’s possible to be at the start, the finish and two other locations (e.g. the bridge crossings) in order to get maximum number of shots. Would welcome anybody else’s experience on this matter. The riders took a lot longer to get around than I’d expected so this gives me hope that it is possible to catch them at a number of different locations in future years.

At the end I stood by Buckingham Palace and tried a bit of video, which I’ll post soon. In the meantime, here are a few captures of an entertaining incident where three brave riders attempted nude shots outside of the Palace gates. The policeman on guard obviously told them to go away – so not sure if they managed to get any shots in (I do hope so). Anyway, I managed to capture some of this. Well done to the three of them – very brave.

BTW, 11th June is the Queen’s ‘official birthday’ so there had been major ceremonials earlier in the day, hence all the flags. I wonder if Her Majesty got a glimpse of the WNBR from the Palace?

Cant wait for the video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
