Photo of the Day on Jun 20, 2011 - more PODs

Selected by Ian Hylands - Loving the look and feel of this shot, even without the nice flat 360 table. That does help out a bit though...

really great... love 360 tricks frozen in the exact moment where the rider looks behind on the kick direction, really gives you the idea of rotation and is not for everybody telling the exact story of a trick in a single shot Wink

... adding also the table in this rotation the tones of the photo and the environment makes this photo a really great job! ... Cheers!!!

louiscritchie (Jun 20, 2011 at 21:04)

doesn't look like a 360 man, it looks like just a table on a step down

suicidedownhiller (Jun 20, 2011 at 21:36)

I'd agree, if the 'landing' wasn't so steep, it's obviously a 360 table...I actually DON'T like this shot because his head isn't looking...if it was, it'd be better

bh3x Plus (Jun 21, 2011 at 3:53)

hmmmm... as I understood from this shot that is regular dirt jump and not a step down, I imagine this from the form, dimension and distance between kick and landing... my opinion landing is on the right side of the photo... if that was a step down... the shape of that little landing doesn't have sense... so I remain of the opinion that the rider is rotating there... so 360 table for me Wink

... cheers guys!

sam-davies (Jun 21, 2011 at 3:58)

The take off is on the left and the landing is on the right so it's a small step up. The rider is doing a 360 table. I know this because I took the photo.

xenophile (Jun 20, 2011 at 2:15)

it's just you. He's landing to the right.

lockguy101 (Jun 20, 2011 at 10:19)

^^^ Sorry I meant to give you +props

doorknob100 (Jun 21, 2011 at 21:11)

What if he's doing a 360 and facing the opposite way?

xenophile (Jun 22, 2011 at 8:51)

He clearly is doing a 360 and is facing the wrong way you imbecile.

Some sneaky photoshop depth of field going on? Wink

Sick shot

jezzah (Jun 20, 2011 at 8:06)

Thats what I thought!

Yeah in the larger size you can see it, shame on you sam! cheating

sam-davies (Jun 20, 2011 at 8:13)

Haha, you caught me. But then again, Photoshop is part of the procedure of releasing a photograph.

RobbyBriers Plus (Jun 20, 2011 at 12:32)

I love how everybody disses the use of Photoshop and calling processed photos 'fake'. They have no clue of all the tricks people used with analog photography. Photoshop is no miracle program. It sure helps and is by now very sophisticated, but it is not all 'new'.

A photograph is like a bicycle. You can make it using expensive stuff, carefully select everything you want to put in it and it might mean the world to you... But in the end if you don't fine tune it the way you want it, you won't get a 100 pct out of it.

Airik (Jun 21, 2011 at 8:50)

hahaha I was wondering. 76mm and 5.6 with that blur. now I know whats going on.
