Should be POD! Not all PODs have to have riding in them, this is clearly one that shows this.

this should be pod, but one thing that would make this better is if the rider was in the mirror and not the guy, just switch around the 2 guys and it'd be sick!

i agree with danheller, rider ought to be in the mirror, but the aactual editing is pretty tight.

i really love this pic and i woudln't want to ruine the moment, but i think it should be the other way around - you are dressed in normal clothes, but when you look at your self and your soul in the mirror you see a biker (rock) =) =)
eather way it is uniqly cool !

schilly (Feb 11, 2009 at 14:43)

shouldn't it be the opposite? like whenever you look in the mirror you see a mountain biker?

FRED-01 (Feb 11, 2009 at 18:29)

It could be! but I thought it could work either way. At the camera angle that I was working with the contrast was a lot stronger with me as the biker in front of the camera and me regular in the mirror. The shadow contrast on the biker from the lights was what I was lookin for and it would be impossible to do with the biker in the mirror without being lit up from those vanity lights. It was very complicated!

pwnsomekidswiththatbike420 (Feb 25, 2009 at 18:44)

not the best one at all, first off it looks 100 times better when you do it so normal guy outside looking into geared up self in mirror, much more trippy.
