Im not media where i was standnig there was 2 other media guy few yards away from me took some good pics like RMS he was across the road from me on stage 16 on a hairpin some good pics from !
By the way not trying to argue just saying that the spectator points were good for spectators and media
i have to say that it was great getting signed on at this event but even if i wasn't i rekon i coulda still got some great pictures form the spectator areas!
eg. the 1st stage i done spectator got a ft away from where media could so nice head on shot with wheels lifting.
night stage i was at road level below spectators who were raise din field so still could have got the same picture.
the farm cross roads 1st stage sat morn a lone spectator coulda got beside media no probs so same picture but would have got a rear shot no probs
the jump shots from sat no spectator access really to that point for a picture unless signed on, same stage but on down to the sweeping right a spectator could have walked down a fiel to that point and no marshalls meant same picture
the hairpin right on stage 16 as you say spectator couldn't have got the same shot as myself or roy dempster who i seen was at the same point in the day but from the field they would have got a real nice rear end shot round the hairpin
final stage i was at wasn't as good for spectator pictures but while trying to find a good point 2 chaps had nice perches in the hedges for head on shots and if they hadn't been there i probably would have stood there, but instead i was in an area that only media could have got for a nice pan shot.
so in fairness the spectator areas where good enough to take pictures in and most where raised areas meaning most folk stayed up hill to see more while folk with camera came to the fence and personllay i think alot of good pictures would have been got.
thats my 2c
