thats not a nac. thats a naaaaaaaaaaaac! it's so huge!

freeride-forever (Mar 2, 2014 at 16:44)

Yeah it hella is!!!! Way stretched, steering locked, classic nac.

Mud & blood aren't the same thing. You sure that ain't mud? Kinda looks like mud on his shin to me.

Americanwetdream (Mar 2, 2014 at 17:51)

Possible, assuming mud pours out of his cuts.

Number 4 all the way. Anybody who has tried to get a fast panning shot like this will know how difficult they are. The rider is in near perfect focus. Amazing. Still think the rest are all good but this one stands out to me.

bearded-ed (Mar 2, 2014 at 6:51)

Agreed!

#4 is by far my favourite. It has something of 70's Formula 1 Photography to it. Retro, but not "Instagram retro".
#1 is nothing special to me, mostly a fisheye doing the "magic
#2 has a nice feel to it, but the riders position isn't perfect to my liking
#3 has a lack of contrast, its a underexposed shot that's been brightened&contrasted too much
#5 is a good pic, but a tad too dark for my personal taste

I'm gonna go ahead and 'prop' you back up to 1. As apparently expressing your own personal opinion annoys people on the interwebs. Who'da thought it!

Dude stop criticising these people's work and just enjoy the shots if you don't like them go and do it yourself

I have to say, I think the one of Buehler is the best. The intensity of the colors, how the light is just perfect... everything about it doing it for me. The others are great too of course.

cctimpa (Mar 2, 2014 at 3:03)

I would go with the nro 4. Those panning shots are so hard to nail perfectly. This is my best panning shot from last year www.pinkbike.com/photo/9783788 What you guys think about it?

wsor1337 (Mar 3, 2014 at 9:35)

Nice one!

kdstones (Mar 2, 2014 at 7:50)

That photo of Semenuk has always been my favorite... Not just the shot, but the epicness of that moment makes the shot just incredible!

ian408 (Mar 2, 2014 at 3:36)

One of the other cool things about #4 is panning across the crowd almost requires you to pre-focus as almost any of the AF modes would likely result in lost focus at the first thing nearer the camera.

Great group of favorites and I'd agree that #1 is.

shaun-ridefast-michael (Mar 2, 2014 at 17:23)

It's really tough to decide, but for me, my favorite is #3! Love how it captures the rider, the trick, the jump, and the scene all in one! Really nice!

Gfromars (Mar 2, 2014 at 3:40)

#5 is the best for me

sewer-rat FL (Mar 2, 2014 at 8:13)

Hasn't number 4 been on Pom before? Stilly fav pic of them all!! Numbers 1&2 don't float my boat

vincesmith (Mar 1, 2014 at 18:26)

Great shots, especially #2!

garyfreerider (Mar 3, 2014 at 0:31)

I think the people who take the pictures are the hero's hear, as there are giving up there riding time to catch the shoot , will done guys

dwidyanto (Mar 3, 2014 at 2:48)

Great shots and nice moment, especially photo number 3

JO7EPH95 (Mar 3, 2014 at 16:18)

#1 craig evans is the rider in 26 aint dead to those who don't know

zede (Mar 2, 2014 at 6:51)

So Duncan is the best photographer of pinkbike this month

FuriousGeorge (Mar 2, 2014 at 7:22)

Number 2!!!!!!! There's something very "Tim Burton" about that pic.

mtbjeremy (Mar 2, 2014 at 8:14)

#2 resonates with me. like #5 too

Keskiyo (Mar 2, 2014 at 23:42)

N5 is the best picture, good shot, exposure is right, amazing contrast colours....

max41 (Mar 2, 2014 at 0:41)

i dont see anything special on the second and the fourth one

theperfectline (Mar 2, 2014 at 0:59)

Go out and replicate them, then you will see how special they are.

Hammm (Mar 2, 2014 at 2:48)

Its all about the technique in number 4

max41 (Mar 2, 2014 at 5:54) (Below Threshold)

the second photo is just nice cause of the camera,the fourth is just blurry with the focused rider,but nothing special for photo of the moth i mean,i got much better pics of myself then those 2

teaminfocus (Mar 2, 2014 at 6:54)

looking through your pics I find it hard to agree...

max41 (Mar 2, 2014 at 7:17) (Below Threshold)

give me a 5000e camera and you'll see miracles

mattwragg FL (Mar 2, 2014 at 8:59)

Anybody who thinks for second that it's the camera, not the person holding it that makes the difference, is never going to be a good photographer.

jordanneedsafork (Mar 2, 2014 at 9:40)

I agree with your idea of 2 but 4 is damn sick
