Ruari Hallam at Peak Singletrack in Sheffield, United Kingdom - photo by duncanp

Discovered some nice stuff today with some brilliant light

Photo of the Day on Sep 15, 2011 - more PODs

Selected by Sterling Lorence - When light, terrain, colour, and a good carved corner come together like this in a photo, and make you wanna shred, you have a POD. Get out there and ride your mountain bicycle.

great shot considering its been taken on a powershot! Salute

cheers, i guess it being able to shoot RAW helps a lot, however there is still so much lost colour over a larger sensor camera, some of the heather in the shot was really pink.

Forces you to think a little differently too, makes you take a lot more wideangle shots : http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/6571379/

duncanp (Sep 12, 2011 at 11:51)

its a bit cumbersome for long rides / i fear damaging it when i crash

It isn't one of those gnarly shots with a crazy trick, but the way the light falls across the scene and the rider really getting into the corner just make me want to scream, "Let's go ride!" It's a great shot, I love it.
