POD Photo of the Day on Jul 8, 2012

Selected by Scott Secco - Sometimes it's the simplest shots that are the most stunning. Perfect composition, excellent lighting, and Brendan Howey ripping a loamy corner on Vancouver Island. I love how the trail is largely left to your imagination, you can picture it flowing through the moss forever. Howey and Zinger have shot many bangers over the past few seasons and this is one of their best!

^Haha man you don't even know! i can hardly even start a chainsaw without having some tree hugger granola come hunt me down. And any "ground disruption" more than about 50 sq. feet is a $250 ticket in the watershed.

That is the most vibrant neon looking moss I've ever seen, I would kill to tear my own corners in that Big Grin

rhiwfawrdirt (Jul 8, 2012 at 9:22)

i know i may sound like a right noob but whats composition ?

pacifico (Jul 8, 2012 at 10:52)

its literally the way the picture is composed. for example, where you place the biker in the shot, how your taking it, angles etc
