Thanks Ian and Pinkbike for this. Honored and stoked for our riding scene. This really means a lot to us all. Cheers for all the props and comments guys!
I would paysomeone to make a sick call of downhilll game. For thoes cold wiinter days when you have nothing to do and biking isnt and option cause the ground is coverd in snow and its -40, go play some call of downhill
I wonder how many photos a person would have to look at each day to have seen a photo like todays POD a million times? Haha, say a person was 30 years old and you were being programmed from birth to become the ultimate DH rider... you would to have look at 91.3 photos per day, 365 days a year for 30 years to have seen a POD like todays a million times!
Its a cracking shot fair play. But like mentioned over saturated . by the way LR does every thing PS does.Would had like to have seen this in a larger size. Gratz again
Just lightroom. It was backilit, no strobes. I metered for him and shifted the highlights to balance it out. -10 blacks +5 vibrance. Nothing else really. 5min post job. No Photoshop or crop.
I think there is very strong contrast but that adds to the image and makes it really punchy. Composition wise - although the rider is centered in the frame, his head is bang on the horizontal and vertical lines of thirds, and the out of focus log in the foreground draws the eye onto the subject. You are obviously entitled to your opinion though
He may be centered but like you say, he's on an angle, but also the rider is actually stretched across the frame of the photo instead of being in one spot in the picture he's in two corners, I think the photographer has used the rule of thirds very well here.
there are also a few other great diagonal lines here such as the out of focus foreground. I agree the composition is solid, it has a lot going for it. When the subject of a photo fills a good amount of the frame then that subject is usually no longer what we look at when thinking of thirds, but as you guys mentioned above it's things like the riders head that end up being on thirds intersections and becoming the focus.
