It´s not real!! why POD???????? It´s intended to be Photography of the Day, not Cartoon of the Day, sorry, but it´s the true.

the trees look epic, but the bike doesnt look like it belongs in the pic, like around the wheels and stuff

To MatthewBolton, Its POD because it looks cool and photoshop is just another tool that today's photographer has at there disposal. Also next time try and be original, if you scroll down and look at WoundedKnee's comment its the same as yours (even the same number of question marks)and his comment was left 4 hours before yours. Did you think no one would notice?

ffs say something better than "POD" people, comment on the lighting or something or the actual trick, looks good

why is there always some cockhead who says PHOTOSHOP to stuff that is not photoshopped or is obviously photoshopped? there sure are some wankers on pinkbike...

ok MatthewBolton, when it says photoshopped, it doesnt mean that the guy was photoshopped in, it just means that the pictures color and all that shenangens was edited

Thats f*cking sweet! Personally I would cut the shadows a little and shift the light level a little further towards the dark for more dynamics

Very good shop. Embarrassing to admit how long it took me to realize the rider was shopped in, not just the lighting. For anyone that cares, here's the original riding picture. I took the time to find it, so I thought I might as well share.

My Photoshop CS4 class thats part of my "new media & webdesign" course at BCIT. We have to make a poster using all the techniques we learned this term, so color correction, layers, clipping masks, and pretty much other tool on photoshop. Im not finished yet, Dustin asked me to throw in a few of this sponsors for him, so the final version will look like a ad for Banshee Bikes, and Straitline.
And thanks corsair711 for linking to my original photo!

Wtf, why shud this be POD ?? yess i know that photoshopping pictures can look good but i think that Photo of the Day should be a proper photo rather than someones edited and "photoshopped " version... it looks good but i think that POD shud be unedited and original..

okay, so. this is neat, but when you merge two photos together like this, you need to make sure both of the things you're merging have been shot with the same light on them, rather than just dodging in a fake looking light ray or highlights from your imaginary flashes. just a little tip for ya pal, keep shooting.

This is def a pod. You gotta remember that a pro photographer does many things to make photos look good. So if you wanted a truly unedited and original photo, it would be hard to find. Props to the rider and photographer in this one, it cam together really nicely

WHAT A JOKE...IT'S A POOR CUT AND PASTE JOB...If your going to do photo editing you should at least be good at it. The perspective and lighting of the rider do not even come close to the background that was pasted in.
It's one thing to edit an original photo and colour correct it but it's another thing to totally Frankenstein the photo.... I agree all photos are edited but this one goes above and beyond

that was the whole point, its a for my photoshop class. We had certain tools and criteria that we had to use; including merging one or more completely different photos, next time read the description use some discretion.

just because the backgrounds photoshopped doesn't mean the trick is... why would i make him fake a tailwhip when he can do a real one unlike 99% of the kids on this site... www.pinkbike.com/video/103395
love this picture, have not seen anything like it for a while, the light, the place, and the whole PHOTO (y)
hahahahahaha- 2 2
That looks amazing. Is that a composite photo of the trees with the rider and landing taken from a different photo?

www.pinkbike.com/photo/3493289 thats my original photo of dustin, then found another random photo i had on my computer, put them together then edited the lighting to look like it was shot with 2 flashes

You may be right, the lighting on the subject, and the background are very inconsistent, and where the edges of the ramp meet the trees is way off.
I've worked with photo-shop, and this has some of the tell-tale signs of an image being cut out and put onto another.
Although, if it is photo-shopped, the person who did it has some skill.
Plus it says its photoshop in the description.

If you're going to photoshop, you should make it truly epic -- why not have him doing a gap jump of the Grand Canyon or hucking off Mt Everest? Epic fail, not POD.
