Subject: [OBRA Chat] OBRA home page photos

Hi all,

I used to go to _a lot_ of races and take a ton of photos. I don't do
that any more. I don't really have a ton of time to pour through
photos to find photos for the OBRA home page so I'd like help. If you
see a photo that you think would work, email me with a link to the
photo so I can ask the photographer for permission to use the photo.
Or, if you took a photo yourself, email the photo.

There are some limitations on photos - the first is mostly to narrow
the field down a bit.

Here's the general gist:

1. The photo needs to be of a rider that won any category at any
recent OBRA race. I mean ANY category - "fun" categories like
unicycles count (sorry, unicycle riders if you don't think your
category is fun) and kid's races where everyone gets a ribbon.

2. The photo has to have the winning rider alone or dominant enough
in the photo that it will be clear which rider is the winner w/o a
long photo id. You know -" rider in red, third from the left" -
that's just too much for the allotted space.

3. The photo is in focus (or close) and reasonably exposed (that is -
the photo isn't so dark/light that we don't know what is going on)

4. The rider is bigger than a tiny speck.

5. I can get permission to use the photo for free (with credit and a
link to the photographer).

Other things, vertical photos work better for now but horizontal can
work okay. If you're going to crop it for me, it should be 240 pixels
wide x 320 pixels high. Action shots are more fun than podium shots.
Riders that haven't been on the home page are favored over those that
haven't been on the page and the more recent the race the better.

Guidelines 1 and 5 are the most important.

Thanks,

Cheryl
