Only prob really is the price.

£10 base for the CD then £2 each per pic with no volume discounts that I can see.

Should be able to do it on the web-really with a download service for less.

Just think if i had of gone you would have got your photo's for a lot less

(but not for free mind

)

Silverstone photo's still available btw

Everyone wants something for nothing.

I don't think that they're terribly expensive, and if you don't like the price don't buy them, no compulsion. Those people taking the pics were at work, (rather like you are now very likely), would go to work if they stopped paying you?

This is true. Thinking about it the price isn't too bad I guess considering the guys have to cover cost of equipment amongst other things. It's easy to see it from the "24 quid to burn a couple of images onto a CD is kinda much" standpoint......wrongly.

I'm going to purchase a couple, as Rictus said on the day "buying professional pictures it's only something you do once or twice", and looking at the quality of them it's worth it.

Must remember to lean more next time though!

Unfortunatly those nice Canon L series lenses don't buy themselves. Which is a shame, because while I'm a bit rubbish with my camera I was rather hoping someone would post me one to help me along...

Some very nice pictures of people, if you find one you look great in part with some cash and get it printed and framed. With the move to digital we're far too likley to buy the image and not put it on the wall!

Exactly... there are a lot of things people don't consider when they question the price... my overheads aren't as much as theirs so therefore offer everything a lot cheaper.. as i don't employ anyone else to take photo's, and its only my time and my equipment i really have to consider... oh and the ~?200 a year for public liability insurance... will be getting mine to cover for up to ?5million soon so i can go track side at events like track days and the like.

Those guys were there for their job (lucky gits), and one day i might be to... you never know what life throws at you... i have done so much work for free in the past, that i am not prepared to do it now that photography my profession.

But as Ian said, if you don't like the photo's then don't buy them. the phrase

They got a few nice ones* of me, I may consider parting with some of my hard earned...

*It's relative, of course.

Loving the lean angle in the second one Ian!!!

Few of the ones I'm getting:

The more I look at these pictures the better I understand the phrase "stop sh**ging the tank"
