Selected by Matt Wragg - Skids and panning shots, a winning combination. A lot of people seem to doubt how fast the top enduro guys are going, but Lee gives a real sense of Jerome Clementzs pace here.
CLEMENTZ - defying clipped in conventions since POD 14/02/14.
my personal opinion - in focus/ out of focus - who really cares - this is a mountain bike appreciation site, not a photography snobbery site, Great photo that expresses what pro level riding can feel like.
Let the neg props commence in 3........... 2.......... 1.........
I agree. There should be two different POD's, one for technical photos, then the other for riding shots. I'm not fussed if a shot is not perfect, as long as it portrays the sport we love, and generates some sort of emotion.
@OzMike, just thought I would let you know that the picture was taken that way on purpose. Panning with a slow shutter is a technique sometimes used to emphasize speed. It's a sweet shot with great riding!
i love this simplicity of this shot. It felt like it really was captured in the actual moment and not staged at all. sure the focus may be off a bit but Pikebike has done a good job dividing POD's that are very detailed in position, lighting etc, as well as A simply great riding shot.
she wanna know if we can be together
even if it ain't gonna be forever
but it can only be for one night
the only thing i ever loved in my life was the bike
