yes you are overreacting.
40 is a fair price, especially since the guys got some skills.
there are plenty of hacks that know nothing of mountainbiking that charge more.
no he doesn't have to

Dang! So you are taking your football and going home?
Get real. He is a professional photographer who derives a portion of his income from photography. He has invested thousands of dollars on equipment, countless hours on the road, and years trying to perfect his craft. Let me tell you, from personal experience: if you think it is hard making money in the bike industry, try making money as a photographer. Worse, try making money as a bike photographer. It is like sticking a fork in your eye.
And the other thing is that he is offering you something that isn't available otherwise. I think you are getting a pretty good deal for $40.
Just be stoked you have an awesome picture of yourself.
As far as pictures of you on his website. If it is for editorial purposes and/or he is not making money off of your image, or potraying you a a bad light, there is little you can do.
I agree with everything BUT...the photo is being used for the purpose of showcasing his skills....however, it could also be argued the product does in fact have a photograph still of his image and likeness.
So it an be view two ways:
1. Konabumm would not have known, or would in fact, not been made aware of the still image, but for the post of it on the vendors website.
2. The Vendor would not have a portfolio, which otherwise gives him, his skills and his business the exposure which in turn has made his business rather successful and lucrative, but for the involvement, and said photographs of the aforementioned rider(s).
Me, for a high quality pic, $40.00 seems to be reasonable.

wow...too bad we didn't have some floodlamps on course. When I rode, it was bright and sunny but from all the pics, you'd think it was near dark. I'm #19. Any chance of getting the pic in a larger, brighter file? Pic was in the mid
PEACE
Butch
Thank you very much T0MJ04D
Yeah, I wasn't taking them......
I set my camera on Shutter Priority and handed it to my Fiancee. I don't know why it just changed all of the sudden in the middle there, there must have been some cloud cover or something.
I'll probably be shooting the Snowshoe races, I don't know if I'll be racing them this year.
Well thanks to everyone that didn't post something rude - I just thought that $40 for is digital file seems kinda steep. I understand that the guy is pro and he has to make a living.
Didn't post something rude.....ROFLMFO!!!!!!!!!!!
Now there's the potty calling the kettle black!
GO TEAM FAT KIDS!!!! YAY!!!!!!

The whole time I was in the start gate I was thinking not to wash out in the gravel off the start. Glad I wasn't the guy that did it.

don't think this guy was in the trees at the second rock garden....but he was in the trees at one of the loamy turns..
AWESOME pictures to say the least. he got one of me last year in the berm before you cross the fireroad @ the top for the second time and it kicked ass. mad props to Mr. Breach!
