Good point!
Do you have any contacts with those photographers on motorbikes? What's their life like? Know any special techniques they use?
No I don't know any of them personally but have "researched" them a bit.Not a good job to be a married man...think pro cyclists travel alot...imagine how much the main snappers travel!...also CorVos and Graham Watson have it pretty sealed...there are other snappers but I don't think there is a hell of a lot of money in it...unless you are right in with the teams and ASO...pretty hard to get on a bike during the tour and that is where the money is.My wife keeps saying I should combine my passions (well photography is sort of a passion but more like a job for me these days..not that I have done much work since being here)...who knows
.SPecial techniques...not really...jst pretty much standard sports photos...you can be creative within reason but you wont sell many pics to art mags!...coping with the weather while have $20-30K worth of cameras on you might be tricky
