Bbakus, the fronts a little blury because the photographer wanted more the rider to be sharp over the front end ? Hard to get the entire rider clear when you only have one chance to do the shot. Especially if your using an SLR
  • + 1
flag eldofreeride (Feb 20, 2009 at 23:39)
^^^Luigi... what are you even talking about? he's using an DSLR for a fact. And since he is, the rider should have been sharper. He was shooting in what looks to be a low light situation, so to get rid of the slight blur he should've dropped the f stop lower, used a higher ISO speed, of a slightly faster shutter speed. Maybe you should think before you speak next time.
Anyways... dope picture for sure. props to the photog!

The fisheye is awesome as always, but perhaps what Edwards is trying to say is maybe not over-use it. I'd hate to see you guys get all bored and jaded about fisheye. Then pinkbike would have to change its name to 'Pinkeye'

flag tylerlewissmith (Feb 20, 2009 at 15:42)
there's alot of reasons why a pic gets POD. the angle of the shot, the colors, the background, ect. everything is scharp except the tire and the fork. everything else is super crisp. the fish eye effect makes the picture look really good. and you also have to look at this in a photographers point of view. to get this close of a shot he had to be pretty close becasue most good fishey lenses dont zoom in very much. so i would defintely say this is POD. just because one object isnt sharp, doesnt mean it doesnt deserve POD.

my buddy's does. its actualy a wide ange lenses. its not a tru fish eye but you still get the fish eye effect and you can zoom something to 35. forgot the specs of it but its a tokina wide angle.

flag eldofreeride (Feb 22, 2009 at 15:14)
yeah thats called a Wide angle lense, tonika makes a 11-22mm i think. a fisheye is like 10mm or less.

  • + 0
flag jerryhazard (Feb 22, 2009 at 17:56)
Fisheys lenes can be of various focal lengths, and are not limited to 10mm or under. The fisheye effect depends on a few things - focal length of course, also what format you are shooting - full frame/film - or crop sensor. You'll get two very different effects using an 8mm on a full frame, then using it on say a 40D.... There are fisheye lenses that zoom also check out the Tokina 10-17mm - it's labeled as a fisheye by the manufacturer.
  • + 0
flag eldofreeride (Feb 23, 2009 at 11:45)
yeah obviously there's gonna be a dif when using a crop sensor and a full frame. you wont get a fisheye look with a 10-17mm with a crop cam.....
