Oh yeah, lots of amateurs cluttering the good spots. I promise you, there won´t be one single pro-photog. So I guess that everybody is going to judge 90% crap and a few good pics. Nevertheless, maybe it´s a chance for newcomers - so good luck to everybody. Though it will be ****** crowded along the track...
