I find it strange when ppl say that a fisheye is overused. I'd say a 70-200mm is used way more, but you never hear anyone say that it's overused haha ... must say that I did use mine a LOT when I 1st got it, but trying not to use it for a lil while.
i got what you are sayin', eric,,, but for everyone is much easier to notice when a fisheye has been used... also, i know why you are defending the fisheye ~ because you're the biggest maniac for this lens hehehe,,, which is very good,,, and i am right after you! buehehe
yeah, it just gets noticed coz of the cool distortion. I think it gets a bad rep coz ppl think you can forget about composition & just bend everything & make it look good on every shot, but we both know that's far from the truth. This pic has a great riding, compo, timing & contrast & that's what makes it good... the fact that you used a fisheye doesn't affect that at all. Hahahaha, you know I have to defend it! Fisheye fiends forever! haha
sweet photo, the only problem is that i dont like how his head is turned trying to look to see if it was a "roost" rather than looking where hes is going like he would during a run.
i dont think he fell off or is skidding, i just think he has just done this "roost" for the photo rather than during a practice or race run. Not that there is anything wrong with that
I like your style that you have... Many pictures u see of events like this are very straight forward. When I looked at your album of pictures I saw alot more style in the imagery. It seemed like you try and keep it more artsy I dont know a better term for it, then most other photographers. I think that seperates u from most the rest of the photographers at these events and that is great!
yah man, U have the same thing. I feel its harder to shoot it more artsy at a event like a World Cup then when u are doing a personal photoshoot. Lugging everything around and wanting to shoot different areas f the course make it hard to find ur shot all the time so I give Lunatyk major props on these shots!
yeah man, races are def way more difficult to shoot. Luckily most of the ppl go shoot the big gaps & leave the nice tech sections alone, so I rather shoot that at races than try to fight 1000 fans & spectators.
yah. Shoot what isnt usually seen and that usually gets the biggest hits. This berm I feel like is shot alot but from the opposite side so this angle is new to me atleast!
you got a better quality version of this, this is Epic! i wana use it as my Macbooks wallpaper but the compression that pinkbikes uses leaves it a bit pixelated. leave us a message if you can send me one
that looks like such a tough corner... seriously. it looks like you get a ton of speed into it, and then, you have to get it right, or you'll fall off like a 3 or 4 foot drop... haha sketch.
That´s Matti, Filip would have the slovak champion stripes on his jersey and steve mostly rides flats. Well deserved POD and VERY clean frame. Well done dude!
Love every part of this picture except that he is looking out of the corner.....to me it shows that it was a set up shot, and that he is probably more skidding than drifting. Still an amazing photo in every other aspect.
its gunna pod i can tell just like the time when i tried to clime a plum tree whilst eating some salt and vinagar packet of walkers crisp that tasted suprisingly nice as they had been in a waste skip for the last for months. then after 1 week i got food posoning and swam the english channel as i was bored and thought it would be fun to eat some cheese so i did.
