in my opinion there are much better pictures on this site. nothing against eric palmers skill, but he's proof that a bit of brown nosing will get you POD round here...
  • + 7
flag ericpalmer (May 20, 2009 at 8:13)
I agree with you that there are better pics than this one on here, but I didn't choose this & if you think me being friendly to friendly ppl is brown nosing, by all means... think that, but while most of the younger guys are trying to be all hardcore & cool & start shit with eachother I've made friends with quite a few of the guys on here... & 1 of them happens to be a mod, but the other 10 or so aren't. So it seems that there might be a bit of jealousy in ur comment? or just plain bitchiness, which isn't lacking on here either.

flag ChrisRussell500144 (May 20, 2009 at 8:38) (Below Threshold) show comment
in not trying to start anything... and why would I be jealous when i dont upload anything close enough to pod standards. im simply saying that rarther than the moderators actually bothering to look for a decent picture anymore... they wait for people to ask if there pic can be POD, or they simply look through there friends list like in this case and go "o that one looks ok i guess". and hey presto, this is the result.

i think that REALLY pod should be decided on a community voting system. most number of favs or something.
  • + 9
flag ericpalmer (May 20, 2009 at 8:48)
I agree that POD should be chosen a lil more carefully... number of favs would have pics of 14yr old girls with their tits hanging out, but something like that would work better... maybe get a panel of photographers to choose?

Well, before you pass stupid uninformed comments maybe u want to take a look at yesterdays pinkbike daily page... They don't look in my albums or other better pics would have made it... so if ur not trying to start anything finish it now before you pass anymore stupid comments about me or my work or the way anyone runs this place (intentional or not), coz for someone with a lot of advice & criticism u don't do much for this site.

"u dont do much for this site" yesturdays VOD was mostly my filming... like i said in my other comment, in not having a go at you personally... im just saying, something else shouldve been chosen. i dont know about anyone else, but this picture just seems to scream "point and shoot", with a fisheye of course...
  • + 0
flag PBPphotog (May 20, 2009 at 9:48)
And why? I'm curious to see why you think it screams point and shoot. Is it because of the motion blur? I know why that is there, any photographer would. I'm interested to see your reasons for thinking it was shot with a point and shoot. Prithee, enlighten us.

haha chris.

tbh, the other 'better' pictures on this site are done by Eric. take your time to look around them and youll find a 'better' one. (in your opinion)

Eric does do more for the site. for example hes had like 50 PODs and i look forward to seeing more tup

dont just scream point and shoot. hes got flashes set up and other equiptment. your not a photographer and to be honest it would really piss me off if someone screamed point and shoot at my photos.

after all, i guess all photos are point and shoot in a way, its just where you aim it that counts Rolleyes

well done eric
