Photo of the Day on May 9, 2011 - more PODs

Selected by Sterling Lorence - Let's keep the fog thing goin today too! Epic mood again, and nice creative use of the flash to save the silhouette and help boost the contrast of the subjects. One one my favorite POD's that i have seen in the files here at Pinkbike.

Harry Potter, is shit. This photo isn't shit so never compare it to Harry f*cking Potter again.

I'm neither a fan of Harry Potter or this shot. Hasn't he basically used a person with a brolly rather than a tripod to hold his flash? Wow, groundbreaking.

Mawfaw = Hero.

Epic is the first word I can think of

aflo661 (May 9, 2011 at 2:24)

Sick shot, and i think the flash is on a tripod, i think the dude is holding a bell or something...

Dude is totally holding two saussages he just cooked on a hidden BBQ Razz

He was stoaked about this rider pinning it in the fog!

duncanp (May 9, 2011 at 3:59)

@gavlaa I'm pretty sure that bloke is holding a rattle and the flash is further behind the tree

Slimak (May 9, 2011 at 4:08)

2 POD's from Wisla during two days? yea Poland isn't so bad!

I love this!! so creaive and i totally agree with Sterling Lorence

shijinkamisai (May 9, 2011 at 10:45)

What he doesn't know is there is a serial killer in full xc riding gear around the next corner...

Beware the Lycra

OPENS 5-9-11

Rated R for intense violence, gore, sexual themes, and use of lycra

gabbarida (May 9, 2011 at 10:56)

really cool pod

StueySasquach (May 9, 2011 at 11:50)

@gavlaa, The flash is clearly behind the rider and quite a distance from the guy with the umbrella. I think it's a nice shot, something a bit different. And it has that feel of racing on a really damp foggy day.

ridetrek7 (May 9, 2011 at 12:52)

i think its cinco de mayo

B1LL15 (May 9, 2011 at 13:32)

this picture would be sick is the person on the side with the umbrella had a Sasquatch suit on. Razz

diegofcm91 (May 9, 2011 at 13:50)

Why the f*ck are you guys talking about Harry Potter?

pawl (May 9, 2011 at 18:52)

northwestdhdad Plus (May 9, 2011 at 20:48)

I can hear all the DJ kiddies moaning over this one. Mood for the win. Elemental, love the shadows, the lighting. Bravo.

What is with all of these PODs by Nikon shooters recently which apparently sync above 1/250 with remote flash? Can someone explain this? As far as I know, the only way to accomplish this would be to use long PC cables and shoot in high speed sync mode. Anyone? Oh and sick pic as well Wink

progression (May 9, 2011 at 13:05)

Most likely they're are using the new Pocket Wizard Flex TT5 & mini TT1 radio slaves which are able to override the traditional max sync speed of the camera. These new triggers can let you fire off camera flashes up with a sync of up to 1/8000 (which is also the max shutter speed of every SLR on the market)

wow, and i just thought taking a photo was just pressing a button : / sick photo though Smile
