mattf (Mar 3, 2008 at 9:54)

whereabouts along southsea seafront is that? only, the isle of wight's missing. Out towards eastny somewhere? Even before I read the description I was all like, wheeyyy, I recognise those bins. Suprised there aren't any pictures of the pyramids in your album though, there's some good stuff to hit all around it.
anyways. Awesome photo, somebody said the colour version's better, but I'm loving the B&W on this.

mikedeere (Mar 3, 2008 at 10:07)

It was taken about half way between The Pyramids and The Pier. The IoW was literally just out of shot on the right! I've got a few pics of riding on the Pyramids... I should probably upload some.

Great pic mate, thats very high not many people can backwheel that good! my mate can just wheelswap a bin and hes well good so respect.

You should try backwheeling a road rail next, duno if it'll be much harder but will look sick.

Well Done Big Grin

austinshepherd (Mar 3, 2008 at 8:40)

where is his shadow? and what is going on with the sand and beach? the water just stops in a perfect line and the sand is all weird, still sweet but looks odd in places..

dbox123 (Nov 20, 2011 at 23:26)

1) Shadow - The sun is really low, look how long the shadow of the bin is, as the rider is on top of the bin, the riders shadow would near the top of the bin shadow which is out of shot.
2) Water Line - The water is in fact lower than the path and beach by around 3 feet, every time the moon passes over the water rises and if was the same level it would flood the path and you would get wet feet.
3) Weird Sand - Its not sand its stones and pebbles.

n-montana (Jan 10, 2010 at 12:47)

its a great idea, the composition is nice, but sorry, i don't want to upset anyone but I'm more than certain that there is a bit of photoshop going on here, for instance the bike has been photoshopped onto the bin, the focus is inconsistent throughout the picture from foreground to background. also where is the cyclists shadow... or is it out the picture?

If I'm wrong, its a great shot!!

mikedeere (Jan 16, 2010 at 13:05)

This photo is not Photoshopped at all, as all who were there will testify. It's clear to see that the sun is really low, as the shadow for the bin alone stretches waaaay out of shot, the riders shadows is therefore even further out of shot. Simples.

[Reply]

wens33 (Apr 20, 2009 at 23:45)

I believe it's a great picture of a biker's life. Nice job.
However I think if you can turn the rider 45 or 90 degrees it could be more impressive mainly at 45 degrees if we can see the shadow of the bike and the rider.
Congratulation!

actually i do think its photoshopped. not to make the riding look better but take a close look at these two things: the pebbles and also the water's edge. i noticed those things right away. its still a super sick pic.

bjam (Mar 3, 2008 at 8:47)

Looks PS'd to me, the litter box clearly has a shadow but the rider doesn't. As well his right hand and the bottom of the rear tire look a touch blockly if you ask me.

Oh well, still a cool shot though

mikedeere (Mar 3, 2008 at 10:04)

This photo is not photoshopped. The blockiness is a result of JPEG compression artefacts, which is something you will notice on a LOT of photos on Pinkbike as it compresses images after upload. This is also the reason for lots of squares on the pebbles that form the beach.

As for the shadow... Look, you can't even see the top of the bin in the shadow, as the sun is really low and just about to set. If you can't see the top of the bin in the shadow then the rider should also not be visible. His shadow is out of shot.
