2023 Fall Update: Well the good Lord has blessed me with another season and I look forward to making the best pics of you that I can as you ride by. So smile and wave Safely.
Please help me out and tell a friend or anyone you know or meet at the
rally that JoeRides is shooting out on Front Beach Road. Thank you and
see you on the beach.
Shooting Note : I shoot and publish thousands of photos each day so please take
note of the of the day and the time that you ride by as I publish
photos by day and time and this will help you find your photos faster. We
strive to shoot as many pictures of you that we can however there are
times when this simply isn’t possible due to traffic along front beach
road. Saturday is a particularly heavy traffic day, so for best shots,
come earlier in the week and earlier in the mornings if you can.
Approaching from the west headed east provides for the best shots so you
might consider this when planning your ride by.
Shooting Status :
If our tent is in the fully raised position, then we are open to
shooting. However, I am human and occasionally nature calls and I must
make a rest room run so if the tent is up and I'm not out there, I'll be
right back. If the tent is in the lowered position and I'm not out
there at all, then we are closed for shooting at that time. I have been
known to slip out around Sunset to shoot some of Panama City's most
beautiful sunsets. So look for us and if were lucky, we might just catch
you in a sunset.
Shooting Schedule : Why don't we shoot longer each day? The Sun and it's position plays a huge part in the quality of the shot that I am able to provide you. I
have found that shooting in the afternoon produces dark faces and bikes
and there is an extreme glare coming off the ocean thus making for a
poor quality pic. I have tried on numerous occasions to shoot in the
afternoon and it just isn't worth it to you. I strive to provide you
with the best quality shots to preserve your memories of your trip and I
hope that you understand.
Don't forget to smile and to wave SAFELY as you ride past: If
you are unable to find your picture, it is possible that I missed you
or car prevented me from making the shot. If we have missed you, I truly
apologize and I look forward to the next shooting time or rally when we
can try again to capture that special moment of your cruising Front
Beach Road. We do not advertise our service, instead relying on your
good words. So please, tell a friend to ride by along front beach road about a quarter mile east of Hidden Lagoon PuttPutt golf.
YouTube Videos: This Spring I'm experimenting with shooting videos at various times and
locations around the rally and I will be posting those videos up on my
YouTube channel. Click Here to be taken to the Joe Rides YouTube
channel. Be sure to click on the "Subscribe" button and click the
notifications bell to be alerted when any new videos are posted. Please
be sure to share this with your friends and don't forget to click that

Safety and safe riding: Front
beach road or any street for that matter is not a place for wheelies,
burnouts and unsafe riding practices. Therefore, out of respect of the
other riders around you, the folks that live in the area where we shoot
and for the Police Department of Panama City Beach, I will avoid shooting
those shots of you doing anything that I consider unsafe. I hope that
you understand and that you will consider your safety and the safety of
those around you. Speeding past me doesn't make your pic look any more
dramatic or exciting as the best shots are those where you and your
passenger are relaxed and not hanging on for dear life. So please ride
safe and enjoy the views.
Photo Publishing Note : I
try to post all my pictures up daily and overnight so if for example I
shoot you on Wednesday then your pictures should be up for viewing
either Wednesday evening or Thursday day and so forth. Again, if I
missed you, I truly am sorry and I do
hope that you will ride by again for another shot. If you find your
picture and there is an unwanted object in the picture that might be
discouraging you from purchasing it, please email me with the complete
file name (name found below the picture) and let me have a look at it as
I have some capabilities of removing unwanted objects from pictures.
Schedule of rally events:
The folks at Thunder Beach Productions are a great group of people and
they have worked really hard to make this Fall rally happen. They will
have the best handle on the events of the rally and therefore I
advise you to consult their Facebook page.
Ride Safe. We look forward to seeing you on the beach.
