Your pics are far better than the other photographers for that event. They really stand out. I like the one with just the feet in the water. And I see you got your old cowboy mate in there as well ! Onwards and upwards - you'll be booked for the next Royal wedding soon.

Ray | Thanks mate, I could have subbed about 50 but drew the line. Happy with what they used. Evidently, having actually 'worked' for the BBC at events, they are very clever in that they rely on local snappers, hence the varying quality really, which also negates costs. Still as long as people are out there shooting and improving its all good.
As for Ken the cowboy, what a bloke, I had him pulling fake six shooters out in the middle of town and drawing against my camera in some mexican stand off type scene. People loved it and were in hysteria. Mind you he smells like a good un' and I dread to think when his get up last had a wash

Nice work Pete. Some great shots breaking up the usual fair on the Beeb home page. If I'd seen you I could have been a subject. Slightly over weight, balding unemployed man looks for quiet spot to jump in harbour
You should have got yourself over to Jurys on Sunday though as a mini Star Wars geek fest going on. Quite bizarre having Stormtroopers and Biker Scouts on one side of the road with Harbour festival Activities on the other. But you would have got some great shots.

Great work Pete - much more of this and you'll be turning pro.
How did you get your first work with them - did you just sub stuff on spec?

I was going through them and then at no.19 I thought, thats a bit out of focus (rubbish), especially considering your top lens, then I notice it was by someone else, they look rubbish compared to yours.
