Photo of the Day on
Dec 5, 2011
Selected by Ian Hylands - This is an awesome photo. It's not a completely set up staged shot, which is sometimes refreshing, it's things as they are, journalistic almost, and very well done for that style. The perfectionist in me would have moved the plastic and the guy on the landing, the wheelbarrow could stay, but I like that Patto didn't. This is well lit and well composed, and a sick nothing!

ya but it seems to bright out for the flash to effect it that much, i does look photo shopped but nice pic

both flashes at full power... i had to stop the exposure down a little bit, as if i had it any faster, the flashes wouldn't have done much as it was too bright.. One flash was in the wheel barrow, and the other to the left out of frame

It was late afternoon on a super stormy day, 5min after this it rained.. Pulled the flashes out as he was completely black in shadow without them..

I would disagree about the flashes being overdone. I love bright lighting & underexposed bg's. That with a chilled nothing makes my eyes happy haha Looks like he's ready for Scotty to beam him up!

I'll second that, the flash hardly looks overdone, in fact he has a mostly grey and white bike and grey jeans and they still have detail, so I'd say the flash is pretty bang on...

@duncanPalka, actually you need to have just as much if not more flash on a bright day. In order to actually freeze something at 1/250th of a second the flash needs to be at least 1 if not 2 or even 3 stops brighter than the ambient light. Otherwise there will be significant blur in the image.

At first glance I thought this pic looked a bit 'busy' with the plastic bags and the house etc in the background. But after taking it in, I actually like those things being there. It captures the country essence of Australia. Mates out having fun in the paddocks.
I'm no photographer by a long shot, but I like the flash work and have had to use flashes on similar days and even sunny days to freeze the rider and overcome shadow. I've had similar effects from flashes and thought WTF when I've viewed them on the computer, and do not believe that this is Photoshopped.
Great shot Patto, I think you've captured him at the ultimate time.
