For MTB photographers
Card to on sale in 60 minutes.
Weeding out the misses, editing, tagging and sorting shots into riders can eat hours, and on a big shoot it can take days. We built ShredShots to cut that to about an hour from card to on sale. We read race plates and spot bikes, helmets and kit, so most riders are tagged before you start. You check, fix the odd one and publish.
Why the hour matters
The slow part is not the shooting
It is the evening after. Thousands of frames to weed out, edit, tag and sort into riders, before a single photo is on sale. On a big event that can run into days.
Riders buy on the day
Sales are much higher on the day itself, race or casual ride. Riders are still at the venue, still buzzing and sharing. A week later most have moved on.
So every tool aims at speed
Photos off the camera as you shoot, soft shots hidden, riders tagged for you, the best frames first. All of it is there to get you from card to on sale in about an hour.
What you get
Camera app
Photos come off the camera onto your phone while you shoot. Canon over wifi now, other makes by cable, more coming.
Uploader
Drop in a card and it processes and uploads the lot, so you can be on sale while riders are still at the venue. If the signal drops, it carries on when it comes back.
Lightroom plugin
Edit in Lightroom as usual and publish straight to the event. No exporting to a folder first.
Riders tagged for you
3,000 frames in. Your best 200 out, fast.
Hide the soft shots, narrow it to one trail or one rider, and start from our picks of the strongest frames. You decide what goes on sale.
How it works
01
Shoot
Race or trail day. If it is a race, add the start list. Photos can come off the camera as you go, or you can do the card at home.
02
Upload
Use the uploader or publish from Lightroom.
03
Check and publish
Hide the soft shots, look over the riders we have tagged, fix any we got wrong, then publish the gallery.
04
Sell
Riders search their name, number or what they were wearing, then buy. You can post the best shots to social from the same place.
