Dunno - seems pricey at first glance, but go sit out there all day, every day & then consider that they're taking 'pro' quality shots of moving bikes. Compared to what wedding photog's & such make for static pics?.... But I do think if they dropped the price just a bit, they'd sell a lot more - maybe around $3/pic or so. FWIW, the couple of times I've ordered from Daryll (killboy), he's thrown all the adjacent pics in a 'series' on the disc when I only ordered one - also some 'extras'.

Glad you had a good & safe ride!

But looks like its about $6 a pic for it on a CD. Talk about pricey. One of them was 10 pics for $45.

They are actually really cheap in comparison for their choice of business.

It's all a big work anyway. But people obviously pay for it.

Yeah $25 just puts a different POV on it, still don't make either right.

Well last night we ordered some pics from Zee and Killboy. Just ordered high res pics on cd. I got 8 and Cav got 9. with shipping $45 each. Cool thing is Killboy sent me an email with the pics in a zip file. Kinda wish he'd offer a reduced price and just did that without the cd completely. But oh well.

Reduced due to PB but here they are.








I found out IMHO, Killboy pics are all high quality, great color, focus, and just the perfect amount of zoom. Zee has the biggest quanity, with good quality, color, and light. US129, out of 20 pics, maybe 3-6 decent and the rest are junk. Some zoomed so far it, it looks like a upper body shot. Cut off ends of the bikes, chopped faces, zoomed so far that there is no background so you can't tell where you are at. Junk! So I ordered from Zee and Killboy. Spread the weath!

Yeah I even put in a comment on both orders that I was Trip's friend that hung out with them that weekend. I figure it will either be bad for me or maybe good.
