I just started this great high quality touring bike gallery as a tribute to the machines that let us get out there. Anyone I've asked for a photo so far has been delighted to contribute and I hope that continues.
Only a couple of days into this, I plan to let this run up to hundreds of quality images we can all drool over, just like the ones that are there now. I have 200mb of web storage set aside for the tribute gallery and I'm also backing the images up on two separate hard drives in case I have to rebuild it on another site some day.
I'm dyin' to see some awesome contributions from forum members here. There are guidelines though and I've had to turn a few photos away.
Here are the requirements:
1) *High Quality* The larger the better as I can resize them to the gallery norm. Like the photos already in the gallery, submissions should be in focus and clear. I can improve the images through minor changes such as cropping and dust removal but the foundation has to be solid.
2) *Fully Loaded* At least *four* panniers or two panniers *and* a trailer.
3) *Touring* Bikes need to look like they've really been on a tour rather than staged just out the garage. So, no images of bikes against the garage, against a car or inside a home. This is a gallery of bikes caught in the act of doing their thing.
4) The gallery is about the bikes so they shouldn't be obscured or shown from a full front or back angle. Look at the 15 bikes already there if you need examples.
5) Only one image per bike.
6) Please don't submit any image that isn't yours.
7) I'll need a first name of the bike owner, location of the photo (country provence/state) and a short bit saying where the tour started and ended, and the bike make and model.
Photos can be mailed to gathertheglobe(AT)yahoo(DOT)com
Join in the fun and also forward this on to fellow bicycle tourers.
Tailwinds!
