I know many of ya'll have been to the Dragon. Typically you have your picture taken while you are riding. Here are the sites for the photographers that are usually there. Prices are fair photos are great quality. I recommend dragonslayer and killboy[sm=biker2.gif]. Killboy is there more than any others. Photos are broken down into categories for you to find yourself.
There's something not quite right about someone trying to sell me a picture of me, that I didn't ask them to take. Now on a coaster ride that's different, I paid to be there and it's part of the deal (no pun intended). However, when I am riding on the open road, if someone wants to take my picture, that's up to them, but don't try to sell it to me, and don't try to make money off it, not without a signed release.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid or picky, it's a great riding day (not too many left) and I'm stuck in the office. Grrrr.
I took a look at my pictures from our ride on the Dragon two weeks ago from all 3 photographers. To me, the guy from dragonslayerphotos.com is set up in a better location, the background was more appealing. You could see more of the road in the background, more of the turns. He was set up in an area where the light was good also. Do those guys set up in the same place all the time or is it "first come, first served" for their locations? I think it's a neat deal to be able to end up with a picture of yourself.

The dragon is a destination, most go there for to be on the scene, I rode it before it was anything but Deals gap back in the early nineties, then we rode it again this summer, big difference in the hype, crotch rockets are the most there these days, and we did order pics from killboy that were good, bought stickers and a shirt at the store, it was a fun weekend.
THANK YOU!! I've been trying to remember the name of the website on the moonshinephoto.com guy's banner since my buddies and I rode the Dragon back in July! I've searched the net, and never found anything until today! I have now found our pics!
