Jonas, this is a cool shot, I just wish I could see the landing. Photos should tell a story, and this one is a mystery... Looking at the landing shot as well I think this would be a much better photo if you could at least see how big the drop is, and the composition on the shot could be a tiny bit lower, ie lower the camera so the rider is in the top part of the frame, that might allow us to see at least the bottom of the wall. If it's not too much work I think you should redo it
Thanks for the good advice! Unfortunately it started to snow insane here in town, but after a week it might be possible if the temperature remains at the top again. You can certainly see the landing of this image (see link), but it was late in the day... www.pinkbike.com/photo/6249603
That's so cool that because of the Invention of technology someone in Norway can learn from one of the best MTB photographers in the world by just taking 5 minutes and putting his pictures on a website. The world is a pretty awesome place.
Mods or Ian will see this. My input is ( I know a tad bit about photography)
The field of depth and colors stand out, if your photographer was using a 70-200 lens and fixed all the other settings it will come up like this. I like the action in the picture, the exact moment when it was taken (Rear tire is still on ledge) and I like the ambience. It looks like you are near a city, so it's the last place you'll see a dh bike. I also like the fact that I have no idea how far that drop is! Makes it suspenseful. I just like it. It's good and deserves to be recognized.
Okay. Thanks, I wondered a bit about how they were selected. But now I know. The picture was taken in the backyard in a park behind the church in Norway's second largest city. We went a little late in the day, so it's pretty amazing what the photographer managed out of daylight. You can watch the landing on the following image: www.pinkbike.com/photo/6249608
