POD Photo of the Day on Feb 17, 2011

Selected by Ian Hylands - I was stoked when I first saw this shot. I'm a big fan of flare and shots into the sun when they're done well and this one works for me. The trick isn't huge but it's fully extended, and the timing and composition are spot on.

Love the explanations on PODs now. If those are the kinds of changes we can expect with Ian on the PB team, I'm stoked he's here.

Killer pic, too.

conor-lee (Feb 17, 2011 at 0:16)

Sick shot, but how do you do that thing in the description with the shutter speed etc, when I do it it goes all wierd and doesn't start on new lines :/

Axemen30 (Feb 17, 2011 at 0:29)

this picture is breath taking.. mad props to the photographer

wolfe38 (Feb 17, 2011 at 0:52)

connor-rix (Feb 17, 2011 at 7:55)

Or supper man :0

bike-fixer (Feb 17, 2011 at 12:35)

lowest amounts of comments i've ever seen on a pod this late in the day....

jbike101 (Feb 17, 2011 at 14:49)

ass shot...

bikefsu (Feb 17, 2011 at 15:20)

and then jesus appeared...

newworlddisorder (Feb 17, 2011 at 15:29)

and he said "be not afraid my son"

props-guy (Feb 17, 2011 at 19:24)

Yeah the explanations are good. I think they should go back to the baseball pod and explain why the hell that was pod.

jizzy-b (Feb 17, 2011 at 23:22)

Sick for so many reasons.

ericpalmer (Feb 17, 2011 at 4:16)

Amped on the new selection section! New changes are making me very happy! Keep up the good work!
Super shot! Very tricky shot to expose & nailed perfectly as well as the superman!

kamloopsrider2 (Mar 14, 2011 at 16:06)

way to clench haha

BikeTek (Feb 17, 2011 at 0:06)

es heißt entweder "Fotografie" oder "Photographie" aber nicht die Kombination die da im Wasserzeichen zu sehen ist.
Ansonsten ists in tolles Bild!

FedKell (Feb 17, 2011 at 11:55)

people don't actually appreciate a photo for the skill it takes to take it, they just want the biggest tricks. great POD.

wildcardrx (Feb 6, 2011 at 12:33)

what a rad photo

bike-fixer (Feb 17, 2011 at 11:35)

ok ian, where are you! i need to shake your hand for selecting this pic!! amazing show of skill while usin a camera.

lstanners (Feb 17, 2011 at 15:47)

OK, that's pretty freakin awesome! Good job capturing the shot with the sun like that. If I tried that with my camera it would probably start to cry.

TheBuddahGuy (Feb 6, 2011 at 12:32)

so sick, POD for sure!

FeBrewAry (Feb 17, 2011 at 0:00)

jackonmabike (Feb 17, 2011 at 1:25)

One of the best photos I have even seen.

mielotxino (Feb 17, 2011 at 2:23)

nice instant, but in my opinion very "burned"

obius (Feb 17, 2011 at 3:17)

WOW this is the best pod ive seen in ages!

xenophile (Feb 17, 2011 at 4:01)

Ian, to you this trick may not be "huge" but to most of us weekend riders it is definitely huge!

IanHylands (Feb 17, 2011 at 8:36)

I wasn't trying to put it down, it's a solid trick. I was more comparing the amplitude to some of the tricks on "larger" jumps...

xenophile (Feb 18, 2011 at 4:29)

I understood that, I was just saying that tongue in cheek

Bob-95-mtb (Feb 17, 2011 at 11:31)

very well done, this is real photography
