What sort of an idiot rides a bike with wheels that are two different sizes?? And he's not even sitting on the saddle. Thats just a bad representation on mountain biking and makes us all look like idiots!

Thanks very much for the props - really appreciated, as this one is special to me. Over the course of a couple years, I became a master with the self-timer - so much that when I go to photograph other people riding, it has become difficult.
Checked out your Vid - wow. Really dig the angles, music, and the sort of pan & scan framing. Its almost romantic, like a fond memory - very cool and original atmosphere to it. dig it.
Keep up the great work

I love it, takes something simple, and probably not an 'awesome rider' and makes it amazing! Special props since it is a self portrait tooo! Fuck yeah!!

Can't give a total lesson, but start with learning to shoot in RAW, and process your images through lightroom first... read the manual too, you'll be surprised how much it actually helps! thanks!

Your flicker isn't much better son. Tell you what, son: when a magazine calls you up to a shoot their cover, or after you've ran a half a dozen or so shots in any publication, or maybe you get some real lenses, and then maybe, just maybe you come up with some interesting compositions, and maybe even after that by a wild stroke of good luck or absolute miracle - you learn how to expose an image properly - then, maybe then, you can attempt to critique my images. Until then, your a toy. and a simple one at that. I'm done playing with you. Buh-Bye...

Theres fished, and theres just plain stupid!
Get a real lense, bet that looks crap for any other type of photography

So, which is this - in your not so humble opinion?
This was good enough for a cover shot for a major mountain bike magazine... But yeah, that paid art director probably didn't know what he was doing
A real lens? Dude, you're rockin' a kit lens - is that what I should be using? Well, at least its in focus and exposed properly, can't say the same for what I see in your gallery...
have a smashing weekend!
