Kyle Warner at Disc Golf in Chico, California, United States - photo by brybry

Kyle makes taking photos easy...seriously, this kid has some of the maddest dh steez out there!

Photo of the Day on Mar 25, 2011 - more PODs

Selected by Ian Hylands - Color - check, Composition - check, Trail winding off into the distance - check, Guy looking flat out pinned doing a power wheelie through a puddle in a corner - check. This photo pretty much has everything except dirt jumping, even some color for those who found yesterday's POD a little too bland...

tgreid (Mar 25, 2011 at 0:32)

Good picture. The only drawback for me is the full dh bike/dh kit on what looks like something that could be ridden on a cyclocross or at least a hardtail xc bike. A little overkill imo, which detracts from the shot. Timing is great, colors, all that was stated, but put the rider on an all mountain bike with a standard helmet and you have a winner.

velociraptor-clintthrust (Mar 25, 2011 at 0:36)

do you see the hill behind him...?

crashbrothers (Mar 25, 2011 at 0:42)

@Tgreid its just the pedaly fast part of the track

tgreid (Mar 25, 2011 at 1:14) (Below Threshold) show comment

I understand that. I'm just saying that where the picture is taken doesn't warrant the gear being used. I'm sure the trail is full dh all the way, I'm just providing some constructive criticism for the photo as it is.

@ halfdermath http://www.pinkbike.com/video/172605/ not cyclocross but close... Wink

tgreid (Mar 25, 2011 at 10:14) (Below Threshold) show comment

that's not my point, but clearly you're not understanding. I know he's not going to do a dh track, then switch everything for a flat section. It's simply a critique coming from a photography perspective to make the photograph better. I think it's a great picture, but everything can usually be improved, so I was suggesting an adjustment to the only thing in the photo that could have used a style adjustment.

If I'm going out to shoot this particular location, with this puddle in mind, I'm going to realize that this section of the track doesn't appear to be full on dh, and therefore, maybe I'm going to get my model, the rider, to get on a bike and wear appropriate gear for that particular section. In a photo shoot, riders may switch all kinds of gear from shot to shot as what is optimal for one location may not be optimal for another. It's just something to think about when composing for different situations. I'm not an idiot, and I'm not hating. I think, as I've said, that it is a great picture, and was only offering one tiny improvement.

If you pick up an issue of Bike Magazine, or Dirt, or whatever, and see a picture, all you have to put the scene together is what's in that picture. This could be Schladming for the rest of the trail, but all I've got to go on about the nature of the trail being ridden is what I can see in the picture. But nevermind, why offer constructive criticism, gnarly radtacular sweet dude....carry on.

dom69foco (Mar 25, 2011 at 10:31)

@tgreid totally agree, its a cool photo but my first thoughts were that it looks like my xc loop

j-brantley Plus (Mar 25, 2011 at 13:03)

I dont normally get involved in this drama, but tgreid, you are a fool! Just shut up and move on!

I can see by your photos, you always ask ur riders to change clothes on the trail! hahahahha
Not to be a dick or anything, but none of your pics compare to this picture as far as composition, color and clarity. So dont try to act like a photog wizard and just enjoy the dude killing the puddle with style!

Great Job BryBry on POD! See you around bro!

theflyingsquirrel (Mar 25, 2011 at 13:33)

tgreid, that's stupid, your a retard.

tgreid (Mar 25, 2011 at 13:49)

Did nobody read the part that I stated that I really liked this photo? I apologize for offering up one tiny nitpick, one thing to maybe consider when taking photos in the future with regards to composition, that should have been made as a comment only to the photographer in private and not placed on a public board. The picture is awesome, great timing, great action, placement of the rider. I mentioned what I considered to be one drawback, one out of a totally great picture. But I guess the point was lost.
