POD Photo of the Day on Jun 2, 2012

Selected by Ian Hylands - Pretty much just pure awesome! I love the amount of blur in the roost and the rider in front, it gives this photo such an impression of speed, while not being overly done.

Great shot, some really action color, clarity and framing! If I was in that photo, I would get a print and hang it on my wall.

the photo is good, but too simple, in my opinion

its defiantly not too simple! awesome shot.

I'm not going to open the can of worms on what constitutes a good POD (as Ian always chooses well), but this shot is particularly awesome. Besides the awesome perspective and action, I like the contrast between the red/blue flannel and the green/blue flannel.

Love how the first rider's wheel and the roost are nicely blurred but the second rider is perfectly focused. Nice shot!

The things photographers go through just to get the shot. They almost get dirtier than the riders!

Its not even that good?
The blur ruins the shot imo, and the other rider blends in too much

Negative props here i come -_-

Nope, because you said "Negative props here i come". To spite you, you will be given positive props. Kinda the same thing really...

perchard01 (Jun 2, 2012 at 18:46)

well you have as many negatives as he a positives so screw you both! Wink

Good shot of capturing the speed. Also looks like the guy in the red shorts is riding a banshee scythe.

conv3rt (Jun 2, 2012 at 10:46)

ha. was thinking the same. good old game of "name that bike!"

BenLovesIdaho (Jun 2, 2012 at 23:52)

You guys are masters of that game. Well, compared to me anyway.

Scythe888 (Jun 3, 2012 at 22:55)

Not really. Only way I know is the cnc machining on the lower seat stay, and I own a scythe.

conv3rt (Jun 4, 2012 at 15:17)

plus your name is scythe. unfair advantage. have been thinking about one. do you like?

Scythe888 (Jun 4, 2012 at 20:40)

Yes I like it. Still going strong, been riding it since 08'. Put a 2deg angle reducer in to slacken and lower the BB.

atala (Jun 5, 2012 at 4:45)
