Caerus Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 That's awesome, I guess I know what I'll be doing tonight. Who else was taking photos, are there only the official photographers and this guy?
gummibear Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Oh and file sizes are roughly 300-400K and are resized to roughly 800x600. Not going to print well at A4 size. Andrew Steer 1
sportimages Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 Hi gummibear, no these photos are just meant as a "memento" or facebook type of photo. If you would like to print, I can supply a higher resolution version of the image on request. It would be silly to upload all of them at high res in terms of server space.
4otomo Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 That's awesome, I guess I know what I'll be doing tonight. Who else was taking photos, are there only the official photographers and this guy? Hi! I also took some pictures at the start, along eastern boulevard and at the finish...see link below to classifieds section..https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/82856-argus-tour-2014-images/
NeoOne Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I tried to search my race number and plugged in #7831. Picture number 7831 happens to be a chap who is 20 shades whiter than me and looks like he's about to have a heart attack haha. Can I suggest, for future races that you use the timestamp, so people can work out more accurately what time they should have hit that spot? Shot
Maniax Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I cant find me. Action photos have 8pics of me, so my number is displayed fine. Did you only take pics of the front runners?
TALUS Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 30000 riders - 1 guy. He said he didnt get everyone.
SurferChild Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Wasn't it said that an image is R20 for download.... the website claims R30
PaulTeague Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 At your prices, I will definitely support you!...Have never and will never support Action photo...purely based on the price issue.
sportimages Posted March 28, 2014 Author Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Yeah initially I was selling at R20 but with the fees incurred from the payment gateway (Payfast) to accept credit card or instant EFT I had to increase the price slightly to R30 in order to cover these costs and to make a slight profit. I am not doing this to get rich but sure need to try and make it worthwhile at least... As for looking and not finding your number - yeah I only managed to capture a small number of riders as I did this alone. (Also if you were not displaying your number on the front of your bike or helmet then I did not know what number you are and is not included in the search, will need to check through all) The search algorithm also checks for other things like filename etc, so if you enter your race number, sometimes other photos will appear but yours will appear in the results if its available. Action photo has a team of photographers set at different points, so I would expect them to have captured everyone. That was my plan for next year but alas I am not allowed as they will only allow action photo sadly. Edited March 28, 2014 by sportimages
