that looks epically mega of biblical proportions!
Its a cool photo, shame about the photoshop blur though :/ Though i cant see how else you would get that effect straight from the camera, as the object is moving towards you blah blah
picture's' of the day today... i wonder??? btw that shot is sick, nice work on the computer and trails!
It is possible... Insanely fast CAF + slower shutter speed + zooming(or maybe unzooming) during the shot
I got a similar effect on a pic by zooming in and out whilst taking the photo, i did it by accident but it looked awesome.
thats intense, great photoshopping
and if you scrol up/down, it kinda looks like he's jumping in and out (might just be me i just woke up)

thats done with a slowish shutter speed and zooming out while taking the picture!! give a mint effect!! cool pic guys!!
If you're going to use my expression, Toby, use it properly; in this case it should be "...in/to biblical proportions".
Awesome POD anyway...

To all those who say this can be done with a slow shutter speed while zooming: You can only do this with a stationary object. The rider is not a stationary object, even if he tries to maintain this position while moving directly at the camera, any slight movement would show up as a blur. There's nothing wrong with using Photoshop because it's a great tool. That said, there's no point in denying it when it's used.
Ok guys, I can see a lot of bitching here because I photoshoped the picture. Sure I did and maybe the original one is not POD material, I just added it so you can judge : http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/2075471/.
Nor the trick neither the jump was huge. My aim was to render the speed which is why I decided to emphasize the background's blur. I could have done that optically, but the effect would have been miles away from this.
Anyways, I think this was something pretty new, I've never seen this before and I urge you to bring new ideas so you can get POD one day, untill then...enjoy
Props to the rider Olivier, and all the shapers from Verrières-le-buisson, where we had a great contest the last week-end : http://www.pinkbike.com/video/21500/

explozoom... well it's nice picture, but this technic is a little bit old-fashioned, like david hamilton's pictures.
however, that's done at the wright place, for the wright subject

Its possible to get this effect with the camera (no photoshop). I wouldnt say to that extent though. Its just a slow shutter, as you take the shot you zoom from the closest point to the widest.
Nice one mate.

indeed, just like whiteman91 said (i liked the tip on how to achieve a similar/lesser effect)...but enough of all the how its done, samo2705 has now been kind enough to explain how he achieved the effect ^(many thanks). Great editing and imagination, keep it up

Shit pic of the day, why bother putting boring pics like this as the pic of the day? I prefer pictures where you can actually see what's being ridden...

Thats so cool, if you look at it for a second it sort of looks like he is bouncing off a piece of that clear paper wrap. ( saran wrap )

Looks pretty stupid. It looks like he trying to do a table but failing to do so. And the photo shop makes my eyes hurt.

its called a zoom pull u silly billies, its a basic photography technique usually used on night shots to make lights streak, no photoshop just good skills with a camera, nice shot bro i bet it took a few tries to look this sweet
Yeah that is the technique, but he clearly didn't do that, since the rider has absolutely no blur. Nicely photoshopped though!
the technique is to take a long exposure photograph while zooming with the subject, so the subject stays in focus but the background blurs. so the guy would have taken the picture as he was zooming out, keeping the biker in focus, making the biker be vibrant and the background blur.
don't argue unless you know what you're talking about.

nope, it is photoshopped if the photographer would have used the zoom technique, the rider would still be blurred because when he zooms in/out the rider would get bigger/smaller causing it to blurr. the photographer would have to move closer while zooming to make it work.
you can also tell its photoshopped because you can see the layers. 1 layer in the back where there is the trees (normal pic) and the other on top making the effect.

This Is Awesome Picture But Woah, Headache Lol.

There is no way to get the background that out of focus and have the rider in focus while the subject is moving. Has to be photoshop. If it could be done Sterling L would have done it by now.
Looking at even closer depth of field plane is so deep that the rider would have to be blurry as well to get this shot natural.

even though its photoshop that wold be sweet to see with or without photoshop and ^^ you spelt photo wrong

horrible never should have been pod i hate it so much im sick of seeing these frigin softails doing nothing but a table in a speed blur f*ck this photo

Nice effect, but POD's shouldn't be photoshopped like this, in my opinion. They should just be straight biking photos.
I saw this picture and instantly thought it was gay. When awoke from my seizure, I realized that this picture should not be viewed by epileptics, asian kids, or people who like good pictures. In fact, this picture shouldn't be viewed by anyone. It is not only a waste of photoshopping, time, and a camera, but it is the furthest thing from a POD I have ever had the misfortune of seeing. It was a cool idea, but you failed miserably. Please stop taking pictures. Thanks.
