I believe this is worthy of POD, and if it ain't how about we do a train round there next time

andyf7 (Mar 16, 2010 at 11:09)

a train round that 270 berm would look awesome! although couldnt be too long, what with people coming off the berm crossing the ones about to enter it!

I havent commented on a POD for ages but it would be wrong not to leave something here... awesome angle, awesome set, sweet berm and something about this shot just says "this is what its all about" sweet pic man!

QCIrider77 (Mar 17, 2010 at 13:28)

Sweet photo, I really like the lighting, the use of a higher ISO would have allowed you a clearer depiction of the actual rider. Not criticism, just a suggestion. Im assuming that it was taken late in the day, love riding then when the air is nice and cool. unfourtuntely cannot ride at the moment... nursing a sprained ankle which is courtesy of a failed foot plant :/. Great POD, Everyone do a footplant at some point in my honour... it'd be cool.

They're to put on the berm when it's not being ridden to stop it wearing away as quick.

nikifor88 (Mar 17, 2010 at 4:01)

Aperature: f/0.0
Focal Length: 0.0 mm
is this possible?:>

+ 2

sam-davies (Mar 17, 2010 at 4:11)

The fisheye is fixed at focal length 8mm and you change the apeture on the lens so that's probably why it doesn't show up on the exif. The apeture was probably at f3.5 and the focal length was 8mm if you were wondering.

+ 1

jonlake (Mar 17, 2010 at 8:34)

it's because it's an older manual focus lens that doesn't have electronic sensors. Some cameras will allow you to input the date manually some not.

the widest aperture lens is the leica 50mm f/0.95 and I'm pretty sure Canon has one now as well.

nikifor88 (Mar 17, 2010 at 10:58)

Looks pretty sharp for straight out of the camera. Nice angle. Did you flash the rider, or is that sunlight?
