this could be POD someday
Mann! This Pic Is Awesomely Awesome! Speaking Of which your 4 tries made some god photo on Dirt Rag and POD on pinkbike! Congrats!
What sort of an idiot rides a bike with wheels that are two different sizes?? And he's not even sitting on the saddle. Thats just a bad representation on mountain biking and makes us all look like idiots!

aye your right with it not being 100% out on its own, but to be honest, its f*cking hard to do something that nobody has done before: it might be similar to a few others, but its still a good picture! you at least have to agree with that, even if you dont agree that it should be pod?
hmmm.. and how many (of the photos that are similar to this) are self portraits? just curious... let me know.
haha lol, yh totally forgot about that point! im just trying to be constructive instead of plain flaming somebody for having an oppinion (all be it an oppinion with no justification).
Opinions are great, and at least you backed it up a little bit, I can appreciate that - no worries. Have a good one, peace!
god, this is more than awesome.... this looks like a dream in technicolor! in the small preview i thought this was painted, thats how nice the colors are!

I love it, takes something simple, and probably not an 'awesome rider' and makes it amazing! Special props since it is a self portrait tooo! f*ck yeah!!
"and probably not an 'awesome rider'"
well, maybe not an awesome rider, but it is a bunnyhop! (seriously)

very nice pic, but I don't like the white stockings... or i dunno whats that but it's ugly xD anyways POD!
Great photo! I never comment on the pod but this is really good. Would be even better if that grass was greener, but i think its a great use of the fish eye lens!
mint pic although i think it's a bit confusing coz u cant see the landin but props on the pic keep up the good work!!!

Congrats on the POD Jerry! Recognised the pic straight away when I saw it on the front page. Didn't know you were on here!
I've lurked here for quite a while, got bored the other day and thought I'd see what's what... THanks for the hello too!
yeah.. so are sequence shots. So are selective b/w color.. so are POD shots... so are idiot comments
Theres fished, and theres just plain stupid!
Get a real lense, bet that looks crap for any other type of photography

So, which is this - in your not so humble opinion?
This was good enough for a cover shot for a major mountain bike magazine... But yeah, that paid art director probably didn't know what he was doing
A real lens? Dude, you're rockin' a kit lens - is that what I should be using? Well, at least its in focus and exposed properly, can't say the same for what I see in your gallery...
have a smashing weekend!

you took with with a digital rebel? i have one of those but i dunno how to do all the settings to make my pics turn out like this
Can't give a total lesson, but start with learning to shoot in RAW, and process your images through lightroom first... read the manual too, you'll be surprised how much it actually helps! thanks!

i am speechless.....i was born there ahaha my hosue was like down the street... to bad i moved =/ i need to come make a visit and ride with u guys!!
Your flicker isn't much better son. Tell you what, son: when a magazine calls you up to a shoot their cover, or after you've ran a half a dozen or so shots in any publication, or maybe you get some real lenses, and then maybe, just maybe you come up with some interesting compositions, and maybe even after that by a wild stroke of good luck or absolute miracle - you learn how to expose an image properly - then, maybe then, you can attempt to critique my images. Until then, your a toy. and a simple one at that. I'm done playing with you. Buh-Bye...
Haha, someone on there period, and obsesed with different styles of photography.
And why do you call me son, your not exactly a good father figure.

THanks for the props - appreciated... and no - not a "portrait". But it is a self portrait - meaning that I am the rider, and I also took the photo...
Peace!
Peace!
Man I really enjoy this pic; I really think you have a good eye and I cant belive you got this photo by self timer; I shot all the time and I know how hard it would be to take this pic, by your self. props bro. check out my new video. if you like photography you might like it.

Thanks very much for the props - really appreciated, as this one is special to me. Over the course of a couple years, I became a master with the self-timer - so much that when I go to photograph other people riding, it has become difficult.
Checked out your Vid - wow. Really dig the angles, music, and the sort of pan & scan framing. Its almost romantic, like a fond memory - very cool and original atmosphere to it. dig it.
Keep up the great work
