A pretty tidy photographer I know has come up with an idea to swell the coffers of Bristol's local trail maintenance group. He's holding a photo shoot which riders can join for a small donation to the war chest. In return participants will get some pro quality photos of their riding. We're talking remote flashes, post-production, and anything else it takes to make your skillz on the bike look gooood. ;-)

The session is tomorrow night, starting at 6 pm, so if you want to join in then drop me an email (in my profile) and I'll fill you in on the details.

If you need more convincing, check out Paul's site at http://www.paulhobbsphotography.com/n and our site at http://www.bristoltrailsgroup.com/

    No worries. I actually sent a press release to BR a couple of weeks back, but it hasn't made it on to the site. Clearly local grass roots groups doing their bit for the MTB scene are less newsworthy than the latest bit of shiny kit. :wink:

    Anyway, if you want to be informed well in advance of future photo sessions , you can sign up to email updates on our website at www.bristoltrailsgroup.com, follow BristolTrails on Twitter, or search for Bristol Trails Group on Facebook.

    The photos came out great, I think everyone's really happy with them! There's a chance we'll be doing one in the future, so get in touch if you want to come along.

    If we do another one we're going to make the start time a bit later so more people can come. We were a bit limited by the amount of daylight for this one.

    Paul can carry on shooting in bad light with no problems, but if you've ever done a 24 hour race, you'll know how hard it is to ride a tricky bit of trail in the dark with a flash bulb going off in your face!
