last weekend saw the reveal of Triumphs one make series "Triumph Triple Challenge" & "Michelin Young Guns"

Jay and I were there to support the event and will be providing photgraphy and media services through out the season.

By the way, the guy (posing) in orange leathers is our own 'G'

There are more to come, but here's a few teasers for you.
Once we get upto speed with names/numbers we will try and provide more details.
Here is the gallery from last weekend (more content is being uploaded as I speak)

https://www.swaffs.co.uk/index.gallery.php?gid=211

Enjoy....

Hi
The watermarks could do with toning down a bit, they spoil some of the great shots there.

Lol @ G, thats the only reason why he went, to practice the mingers Very Happy

Heres another G wheely shot, probably my fave one.

https://www.bikechatforums.com/files/gd675-standup.jpg

Fair point about the logo.
These are pretty much the only 675 track photos and I'm concious of photos being pinched for use without my permision (which happens often enough on regular shots)

You could put it as a watermark across the whole thing? It wouldn't jump out at you in quite the same way, but couldn't be got rid of at all.

My official site images all have the watermark across the whole thing, however these are released images to the 'world' I don't want to obscure the centre of the image with a watermark, but do want to advertise where the images come from, and where to find more. So it's less of a watermark but more of a 'Tag'

If I make it too small, it would be easy to crop out.

The size on that one is okay, the other ones it's rather overbearing.

I think you have to accept a level of nickage really, once you put them on the 'net they're stealable.

I know, it's a tricky situation. I don't want to be anal about watermarking, and certainly don't want to ruin the picture, if peeps were happy to leave the tag in I'd put more up for free with smaller logo's.

I'm no angel and have done my fare share of screen grabs and circumnavigating 'no right click' stuff, not to mention tricks with the clone tool.

However, it is only £3 for an unmarked one. Which isn't much if you really need to have a clear one. At the end of the day, it's not like I went out there for free, or spent several thousands of pounds on camera gear, which requires maintenance/replacing etc. for nowt.

Obviously there will clear ones provided to my supported riders.

I know your problem. I don't want to stick a sodding great watermark over images too, so you end up trying to find a way of placing the watermark where it can't be cropped and doesn't completely ruin the picture.

Nice photo. I suppose a bit clearer on the bike graphics and the sponsors would love that one too.

All the Triumph races will be televised.

I really wasn't riding any where near the pace I hope to be - though I suspect the likes of AJ will be whupping me anyway - some very fast people out there as well as some quite slow - I'm hoping to be tagging onto the back of the fast pack Smile.

Got a trackday in a week and a bit where hopefully I'll get some decent pace on.

Heya 'G'.

Sorry I put ya in the vid as much as I did, I really liked those bits of what we got!

I can't wait to get out in Mondello Park on the Cup bike. I'll 'hopefully' have my shock and rear sprockets by then. The cup bike is completely different to my 675 last year. Not having a slipper clutch being the major difference! Drive outta corners wasn't the same either, but not having any sprockets is prolly why it felt worse that it actually is.

Cant wait for the first round in Snetterton! Im booked into the practice day on the Friday as Ive never been there before so need to start learning the track. lol
