Here at Always Riding we regularly place adverts in bike magazines and head out with our camera for a photo shoot or two, and we realised the other day that perhaps it would be a good idea to let our customers download these images for use as desktop backgrounds.
So here they are, handpicked and wallpaper dimension ready, some of our favourite images that we've used either for, or in our adverts. Solo Fremont Shoot - July 2008
Taken in Derbyshire (specifically along Robin Hood Way near Matlock), this is a nice black and white shot of a a rider in a Solo Fremont Jersey, with the sun gently spilling though the trees towards the camera.
Shred Magazine Advert - December 2008
Using a great image from Sombrio featuring the Dwell jacket, this was the first ad we placed with Portsmouth's Shred Mountain Bike Magazine.
Cycling Plus Advert - Issue 215 (2008)
An image of a rider wearing a selection of Craft's Elite 2009 Spring/Summer range is the centre piece to this advert that we placed in Cycling Plus for issue 215. We liked the way the rider is in colour, but the background has a kind of fairy tale mix of different shades of grey and black.
Cycling Weekly Advert - 18th December (2008)
We really liked the background image for this advert, which is an extreme close up of Craft's forthcoming Spring/Summer 2009 Performance Light Jacket. It's the look and texture of the shot that particularly drew us in, so much so that we left off featuring any particular products in order to maintain the visual impact.
