. . . after looking at the Reading Iii pix (well done, for the most part) that what we need for Lafayette, is a chase car (or lead car) whose driver knows the route and can set up in advance to get the best pictures (from outside of the car) at several key locations.
The pictures of Reading, and the other events that I've had the pleasure to view, are priceless, but could have been much better if some foresight were used.
So here's the deal. I've got a Sony DSC-F505V, which takes great pictures (in spite of me) and will gladly take as many parking lot/static pictures as I can. But my wife won't be willing to drive the SVX alone while I jump out ahead in another car to take road pix. We need somebody with another camera who is willing to set up that way in some kind of alternative transportation (we don't want to remove a good SVX from the line-up).
It would be nice too, to have a good backdrop (anyone from Lafayette know of a good place?) where we could set up cars and individually take pictures which we could then set a banner/icon over (suitable for framing).
I am getting so stoked!
