Bristol Naked Bike Ride 2015 (NSFW)

Saturday was the Bristol leg of the World Naked Bike Ride, the 4th time I've taken part in it. This was the biggest and best so far, apparently something like 450 riders (up from 120 last year) - there are new organisers and they've done a great job on publicity for it.

A couple of drops of rain, but no more. The ride itself was great - there must have been about 100 people taking part (including one couple who joined in as we waited at traffic lights!), and the reaction of the shoppers in Broadmead and Cabot Circus was fantastic. ...

More Art Nudes (NSFW)

Again, some really good results, and some quite different effects with the lights and projections - many thanks to the models, and to the other photographers who brought along much more inspiration than I did! ...
