bloomer - I am afraid I have to AGREE with you about the whole cycling event photography. I was SOOOO eager to see my event photo from a ride I did a couple weeks ago. How disappointing. Did they PURPOSEFULLY choose the worst angle so as to squish me into the frame?Originally Posted by latelatebloomer
Checked out my pics from the photographers on the road at the Seagull Century. Oh, I know I FELT leaner and meaner than that. I was so SURE my new Burley rainjacket was sleek and cool! But in all her glory...a puffy cheeked matron in a baggy thang with a shower cap on her helmet. I told DH I didn't look so much like a cyclist as someone in the front row of a Gallagher show.
He doubled over with laughter. Now I know why my people thought photos stole the soul!!
Ick!! On top of feeling like the photo added 30 pounds, they want something like $30 for 1 - 8X10. PPPPlease. If I want to pay someone $30 to make me look like crap, I'll go to Cheesecake Factory and pig out.
They really need to atleast TRY to get a more flattering angle for these photos. I really could care less if you got a good frontal face shot, considering after the helmet, sunglasses, etc - you can barely see my face anyway - how about a shot that shows my new-found quad muscles....FROM THE LENGTHENING SIDE....NOT THE WIDENING FRONT!!!!!
Sheesh!
(ok - done venting about my dissapointing "EVENT" photo)
