Only the bikes would need to stay in Parc Ferme so you could all get around the podium in the holding area  |

| Just my 2penneth folks as "an artiste" (LOL  ).The Parc Ferme area at Cadwell, as gorgeous as it is, is a bit pants in terms of it's photographic beauty. If you can wangle it, how about have the riders in rows (say 5 peeps wide or whatever's needed to fit them all in) sat on the track surface going up the mountain. That way you get natural height increases as each row goes back, thus all faces are seen. Said photographer can stand on the grass between the track and the public fencing, that way, he/she's elevated above the track surface by about 3 foot too. Main considerations are where the sun (if there's any) is present and if you can get access to the track for the shot. The mountain is a focal point on Cadwell and is a bit of a novelty feature for such a photo that would make it different to all the "riders sat in chairs in rows" type group shots you get (and that I've taken myself at BSB). Have fun... Guy |

| Dude, we've already had a group photo taken at Cadwell! And it's in this weeks BSN too! Seriously though, great idea, and I'll be up for it. Guy brought up a couple of points, one that I was going to address, one I hadn't thought of. Firstly, the Mountain. I figured it would be better to do it on the start line (and it may still be better cos of the light) but when he said about being able to step people backwards, it made alot of sense. As long as EVERYONE can control their heads long enough to actually ALL look at the camera at the same time. Wedding groups do my head in for that caper, you'd think you were dealing with 5 year olds most of the time.  Secondly, the light. It's disappearing early doors at that time of year, and the photographer will need a very good quality (expensive F2.8 or faster) lens if they're going to get any kind of light into an image that's taken at that time of night (either that or a long exposure where we all stand still like statues for 10 seconds haha!) With that in mind, it might be very difficult to get anything other than a quite moody sunset type shot. Maybe one during the day would turn out better. It'd be a shame not to be on track, but at the end of the day we want a pic where we can see everyone, not just their shadows! Wonder if Guy would take it?....GUY!!!! |
