IanHylands Mod Plus (Mar 31, 2011 at 22:03)

Two SB800's with CTO gel on a 10' stand to the left at the back, one SB800 behind the stump on the right, one SB900 back behind Thomas as a rim and to backlight the water...

That is sick :O could you still get exact same effect if you were lower getting a better view seeing his eyes more :/ ( this feels weird asking a much better photographer than me lol but just a thought Razz

)

IanHylands Mod Plus (Apr 1, 2011 at 20:47)

Can you view it at 1600px? Then you can see his eyes in this one... Getting lower would have really changed the composition and the look of the stump on the right.

carrot-cruncher (Apr 2, 2011 at 0:51)

oh yh ! sweet man Smile

and yh wasnt sure how much it would affect by getting lower Razz

is it me, or rider is out of focus?

IanHylands Mod Plus (Apr 1, 2011 at 7:43)

definitely you, with the flash hitting him and the water on his bike and the spray it's actually almost too sharp, too many spectral highlights...

bbakus (Apr 1, 2011 at 10:44)

hmm strange... When I look at it on your profile it looks like it's not sharp. When I click on a direct link to this photo it is way better... Anyway, yes it was me. Sorry Smile

connor-rix (Apr 20, 2011 at 18:48)

D1rtJumper (Apr 20, 2011 at 18:52)

"Great companies with sick bikes" was reffering to rocky. Evils are very snappy though

connor-rix (Apr 20, 2011 at 19:10)

wrong

D1rtJumper (Apr 20, 2011 at 19:13)

"noooo, he got signed to rocky"
" ok good Smile

Great company with sick bikes"

Im positive he is talking about rocky.

natewynanscreations (Apr 20, 2011 at 21:15)

yup i was

bikerboy158 (Apr 20, 2011 at 23:35)

I was actually referring to evils because they looked like sick bikes that performed well. I did not know that they were prone to cracking before I wrote my previous comment. I have demoed a new flatline and I love how they feel. It is an excellent bike! Evils quality should be a lot better with their new dh platform because it is made by a different factory.
