Resized JPEG's don't do the pics any justice... Much better in 16bit TIFF's! Il do some bigger A3/A2 prints tomorrow.
P.S I have loads of photos of riders going past, so if you want a digital copy or a print, send your racing number to my email. I was the guy with a tripod and a black jacket looking like Kenny from South Park.
JxL,Have you lost a lens cap? (One was handed in at race control).
Nice pics btw. I took a few pics around the middle of the course nr the berms also.
If any riders reqire a copy (if i have one of you) then contact me also.
Rick.
Hi retro
Nope it wasn't me, the other photographers found it and also asked me. Only used one lens today and the cap is still on 🙂 thanks for asking though!
Just about to upload higher resolution ones on my website, it should go across everybody's screens.
check www.laimonas.co.uk landscape section in 5 minutes 😉
Any of me, I was rider 133?
Hi Trio!
Yes I have a few, will email you as soon as I find the rest (about 400 pics to go through! EDIT:: what is your email? 🙂
I'm sure I recognised you from somewhere, we met in Rivington when riding with John 🙂

Yey, I'm in two of those. I'm easy to spot on the bright green Commencal! Good race again, was a good blast. Just beaten on the last hill for 3rd place 🙁
Trio
I have 1 pic of you on the course.
And some down at the prize giving.
Might be easier to contact me via leequarry.ning?

tombell I noticed you flying on the course quite a few times! Well done, you did good.
JxL I've emailed you!
retrorick I've sent you a message on ning, I think!
Yo tom i was marshalling with the blue hood and the bright yellow jacket stood in the gale force wind at "the pond" cheering you on. well done mate! i used to go riding with the leeds uni lot a couple of years back. Reprazent innit
Heard your shouts of encouragement! Thanks man. The uni crowd are a good lot.
Any of rider 142, the man wheezing at the back.
Did you ride a black full-sus bike with a crudcatcher on the back, blue-ish helmet and red camelback? If so you are the top rider on 6th picture from the top and also another one which is not seen here. let me know! 🙂 (could only find one riding away, and barely visible number due to reflecting the sun)
Yes that was me, I'm the one with the loud fan club(wife and the kids). The top rider on picture 6 🙂

Great looking circuit... who won the ss category?
Liking the B+W shot and maybe the last with a tighter crop.
The rest I'm struggling to see the riders, great landscape photos, with distractions.
Yes richpips - its very difficult to see the riders on 900x600 pictures, considering the original resolution is about 4200 pixels wide and indeed much better quality. You can see the riders quite clearly.
These were more landscape shots I was looking for - there were other 3 photographers doing closeups. Lee Quarry is quite an amazing place with huge cliffs which were the main focus!
P.S slightly larger shots on my website <click my name>
@waytosllow - its a bit late now, so will email your pictures tomorrow!
Another great day, enjoyed the course too!

Yes I know I shot the pictures for the race series publicity shots, and a magazine. Only trying to be helpful. 🙂

I have 1 pic of you, i'll email it you.

Charlie the bikemonger.

I'll email it to you.
