I find it strange when ppl say that a fisheye is overused. I'd say a 70-200mm is used way more, but you never hear anyone say that it's overused haha ... must say that I did use mine a LOT when I 1st got it, but trying not to use it for a lil while.
i got what you are sayin', eric,,, but for everyone is much easier to notice when a fisheye has been used... also, i know why you are defending the fisheye ~ because you're the biggest maniac for this lens hehehe,,, which is very good,,, and i am right after you! buehehe
yeah, it just gets noticed coz of the cool distortion. I think it gets a bad rep coz ppl think you can forget about composition & just bend everything & make it look good on every shot, but we both know that's far from the truth. This pic has a great riding, compo, timing & contrast & that's what makes it good... the fact that you used a fisheye doesn't affect that at all. Hahahaha, you know I have to defend it! Fisheye fiends forever! haha
sweet photo, the only problem is that i dont like how his head is turned trying to look to see if it was a "roost" rather than looking where hes is going like he would during a run.
i dont think he fell off or is skidding, i just think he has just done this "roost" for the photo rather than during a practice or race run. Not that there is anything wrong with that
I like your style that you have... Many pictures u see of events like this are very straight forward. When I looked at your album of pictures I saw alot more style in the imagery. It seemed like you try and keep it more artsy I dont know a better term for it, then most other photographers. I think that seperates u from most the rest of the photographers at these events and that is great!
yah man, U have the same thing. I feel its harder to shoot it more artsy at a event like a World Cup then when u are doing a personal photoshoot. Lugging everything around and wanting to shoot different areas f the course make it hard to find ur shot all the time so I give Lunatyk major props on these shots!
yeah man, races are def way more difficult to shoot. Luckily most of the ppl go shoot the big gaps & leave the nice tech sections alone, so I rather shoot that at races than try to fight 1000 fans & spectators.
yah. Shoot what isnt usually seen and that usually gets the biggest hits. This berm I feel like is shot alot but from the opposite side so this angle is new to me atleast!
you got a better quality version of this, this is Epic! i wana use it as my Macbooks wallpaper but the compression that pinkbikes uses leaves it a bit pixelated. leave us a message if you can send me one
that looks like such a tough corner... seriously. it looks like you get a ton of speed into it, and then, you have to get it right, or you'll fall off like a 3 or 4 foot drop... haha sketch.
Love every part of this picture except that he is looking out of the corner.....to me it shows that it was a set up shot, and that he is probably more skidding than drifting. Still an amazing photo in every other aspect.
That´s Matti, Filip would have the slovak champion stripes on his jersey and steve mostly rides flats. Well deserved POD and VERY clean frame. Well done dude!
its gunna pod i can tell just like the time when i tried to clime a plum tree whilst eating some salt and vinagar packet of walkers crisp that tasted suprisingly nice as they had been in a waste skip for the last for months. then after 1 week i got food posoning and swam the english channel as i was bored and thought it would be fun to eat some cheese so i did.
