I-Bum-Bikes-2K9-4EVA you need to go on google or sumin and look up fisheye lenses because you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. This is a great photo obviously taken by a very skilled photographer and maybe when you take a better one you can critisize. oh yeah and i saw your snide little scottish joke against dingus so why dont you go and f*ck a sheep you welsh c*nt.

ChargeBlendersAreFit (Jan 21, 2009 at 12:34)

haha sheep

insideman (Jan 21, 2009 at 5:31)

I dont think it`s that good! i dont know if its photoshop or a cheap fish eye lens but that distortion in the top of the photo looks terrible =|

Terrafire (Jan 21, 2009 at 0:32)

One of the best shaped/groomed jumps I've seen, props to the builders, and the sick table being thrown over it.

candymuffin (Jan 21, 2009 at 5:16)

when the Odyssey bmx team was here they rode it and both Aitken and Hawk said that they were some of the best trails they have ever ridden. you see them in electronical oh. and they are Waynes trails mainly

dingus (Jan 21, 2009 at 9:52)

3 words. Fish. Eye. Lens.

dingus (Jan 21, 2009 at 9:53)

(In reply to I-BUM-BIKES-2K9-4EVA)

ChargeBlendersAreFit (Jan 21, 2009 at 10:47)

tw@t! :L

its the name of a domed lens you idiot. not a literal fish eye *facepalm*

i think you should do some research before insulting an obviously talented photographer.

nice photo btww eric (Y)

candymuffin (Jan 21, 2009 at 11:28)

please, do yourself a favor and shut up you're making a fool of yourself

ChargeBlendersAreFit (Jan 21, 2009 at 11:32)

i think somebody should notify a mod about this this dick. i dont know whether hes joking or not, but if he isnt, i didnt realise you could get people that retarded.

I-BUM-BIKES-2K9-4EVA (Jan 21, 2009 at 12:14)

I'm making a fool out of myself? This guy who wants someone to go crying to a mod is more like.

ericpalmer (Jan 21, 2009 at 12:14)

Aah, he's just a bored idiot looking for attention & it's working a lil bit. I like the way he's correcting ur grammar tho & he pretends to be so dumb he doesn't know what a fisheye is. At least I hope so, coz if he's that dumb I might feel the need to start praying for him hahaha

Thanks BTW glad u like it!

ericpalmer (Jan 21, 2009 at 12:17)

stop commenting man, we're over ur stupid comments We all know ur an idiot, you don't have to try prove it any more.

devinciwilson (Jan 21, 2009 at 15:40)

I-BUM-BIKES-2K9-4EVA (Jan 21, 2009 at 9:38)

You guys this is a fake. Look at the trees at the top! They're bending. You've been taken for fools.

FrazzyMcGee (Jan 21, 2009 at 9:46)

Or the guy is just a talented photographer - you decide.....

I-BUM-BIKES-2K9-4EVA (Jan 21, 2009 at 9:51) (Below Threshold)

I don't think that photography skills extend to bending trees...

candymuffin (Jan 21, 2009 at 10:01)

i am going to say to you what i said to the other guy a little while up 5th pod he is very talented

I-BUM-BIKES-2K9-4EVA (Jan 21, 2009 at 10:04) (Below Threshold)

I didn't say he wasn't a talented photographer. I said talented photographers can't bend trees. And like I said, this is fake anyway.

candymuffin (Jan 21, 2009 at 10:10)

fisheye lense dude
distorts the image
like dingus below said
here is another one of erics pics of the horizon taken with a fisheye so you can see that it "bends" straight lines kinda
not sure of the correct terms

candymuffin (Jan 21, 2009 at 10:31)

dude.
what are you smoking and where can i get some?
it is a name of a type of lens.
a fisheye lens
in the same line as a 10.5mm lens etc

josh125 (Jan 21, 2009 at 11:37)

face it guys we've been scammed bendy trees as it! thank you I-BUM-BIKES-2K9-4EVA for showing me the error of my ways you beautiful, beautiful man

ericpalmer (Jan 21, 2009 at 12:11)

If I really cared I would send you the original pic to show u all I did to this was exposure adjustments. The difference between a regular wide angle lens & a fisheye is that the fisheye has a barrel distortion (which you see bending the trees) where a regular wide angle with the same focal length will not distort. I like the distortion of a fisheye, so I use it. Is a pitty Wayne got squished a bit by it tho.
So basically before u start to talk about something as if u actually know something about it, stop, think... ur probably just making an ass of urself, like you did here, but it seems that even when ur informed of what ur looking at u still don't accept that ur wrong, so hell, yeah... I really wanted bent trees in my shot, so I bent them in photoshop just to scam everyone on pinkbike. hahaha U really think I'd waste my time doing that... seriously?!?! haha

konagoern (Jan 21, 2009 at 13:07)

your such an idiot, take a lesson in photography! nice pic eric, congratulations to the second within a week...

k-rider92 (Jan 21, 2009 at 14:30)

Its the Fish Eye you tit (i bum Bikes 2K9 4eva guy)

buzzard (Jan 21, 2009 at 15:16)

and why would a great photographer waist his time faking a picture like this when it's so much easier for him to just take the pic himself... if he knows how to fake it he knows how to actually get the picture.

mgolabek1991 (Jan 21, 2009 at 3:19)

verry nice pic... photoshop:P

nah, photomatix, it's an HDR

4 16

funkedafro (Jan 21, 2009 at 5:44) (Below Threshold)

its a fisheye lens, thats the best thing bout the picture. crap shot, overused lens.

3 13

funkedafro (Jan 21, 2009 at 5:50) (Below Threshold)

people think they can just use a fisheye and they will have a top pic, the landscape needs to be right for it and it's definataly over used

candymuffin (Jan 21, 2009 at 9:04)

dude.
this is his 5th pod.
he knows how to take a picture, not just "use a fisheye and they will have a top pic"

ericpalmer (Jan 21, 2009 at 12:02)

thanks Johnty, I'm over arguing with idiots like that

k-rider92 (Jan 21, 2009 at 14:28)

Dude.... Funkedafro.. your a boob. this is mint and the land scape is perfect.... wtf you smoking? some f*cking Blue grass? either way this is pod and its, in its right place, cuz this is mint.
