Any more photos would be great - I agree high res would be the best!

Doh!

So clarify please - what about these (full size of your example, plus two more) and the other 11 at flickr.com/photos/75937304@N03/with/35230680835/ is neither "more" nor "high res"? A simple trackback of the flickr id using filename yielded them in about 15 seconds...

Lovely! And a bonus for those of you who especially favored her: "Reporter" is glimpsed periodically throughout, with an on-the-fly mini-interview from 5:45-6:05

Edit: the same group also did the more sparsely attended, but still nice, Brussels ride: youtube.com/watch?v=me9vsIPE3DI

Quite a few people over the past year have reposted my snaps from Flickr to their own accounts. No idea why they do it, especially when they resize or otherwise mess with original and lower the overall quality. Thus far I've never requested anyone remove repostings as all my images are CC and can be used by others - the only stipulation of this license is that the reposter gives a credit, not something I care about, TBH. Lots of mine have ended up on Nuderide - nearly always looking like they were taken with a point and shoot camera by a Parkinson's sufferer.

I do find it odd when people complain about pics ending up on here, especially when in many cases their shots are clearly show more than just a documentary interest in certain riders. You have to realistic - whatever your personal motivation for covering these rides, a lot of guys (and girls) will enjoy looking at the people taking part because they're naked. I have no issue with people reposting my snaps here, they are perfectly free to do so under the terms of the Creative Commons license.

Hiding pictures away, uploading them at a stupidly small size, covering them in watermarks etc is IMHO a pointless waste of time. If you don't want anyone sharing your stuff, don't put it online.

I did notice that most of the very prolific uploaders are clearly gay males with an obvious sexual interest in men, and this is reflected by the fact that they take endless samey pics of cocks and hairy buttocks etc. Each to their own but these fellas never seem to get lumped into the perv category by those connected with the rides. By which I mean the Brighton ride, the only one where there is this ludicrous perv paranoia, which is aimed pretty much entirely at straight dressed men with DSLRs.

I've also noticed a huge increase of naked men on Flikr over the past two years. Funny how that seems acceptable to the organisers, when similar shots of ladies is an intrusion. I'm assuming gay men have a similar use for the photos as us?
Thanks for sharing your work, it's first class, as always.


Odd, the complaints we have had this year, if you don't want to have (anonymous ) naked images of yourself spread over the net, either don't ride in a WNBR or do it dressed! It's much easier than trying to stop them being shared on line!


Been looking for Cardiff shots, but despite being a scorching hot day, it was almost exclusively naked men. Here is a group shot, the one fully nude girl is visible. Other watermarked shots are popping up, but it wasn't a great day for ladies.

It's a sad fact that all of the rides are predominately male and in several cases seem to be becoming ever more so. I like to see a balance of genders. I don't think things are helped with stone age attitudes like those in Brighton, where women are now treated like delicate flowers unable to think for themselves, who must be protected from dressed people not taking part in the ride by...other dressed people not taking part in the ride. I've noticed that the most vocal 'perv' detractors don't have the balls to take part in the ride themselves. Not sure where all stuff about 'Charity Girl' and the blanket ban on her came from - she was very clearly clued up and knew exactly what she was getting herself into. I strongly suspect she's been 'advised' my the militant nutjobs who seem drawn to this event like moths to a flame.

A new phenomenon reared its head in Brighton this time - the frequent refusal of requests for pics. Usually, all but the really obvious wrong 'uns are granted permission to take shots. But this year, everywhere there were people saying no. This is why I took far fewer posed pics than usual - no one declined a request of mine but it wasn't a comfortable situation, made even less so once it became obvious that more than one marshal was trying to get snappers hauled away by the cops for taking pictures in a public place. A slippery slope indeed, and shame on those officers who gave a few people a speaking to for nothing more than behaving in an entirely lawful manner. I witnessed only a single incident that I would have deemed off colour and out of order.

Every year a few of the nutters involved in the organisation of the Brighton ride refer to me as a notorious perv, while others invite me to add pictures to official photo groups, and various media sources use my pics (mostly because they're Creative Commons). This year I've been lambasted for such crimes as putting snaps on Flickr at too high a resolution, not making my snaps copyright and being in possession of a 'ridiculous zoom lens' No doubt others have similar issues. Having seen one of the halfwits rejoice in the fact that I said I wouldn't do another Brighton ride, I will of course be back next year. Maybe with a 1Dx2 and 400 2.8, so I can get ultra sharp close ups of bums and boobies at a rate of 14 frames per second

Haha great point! We are all equal right? 😀
