POD Photo of the Day on Apr 11, 2012

Selected by IanHylands - Some amazing natural light in this photo, and fairly nicely balanced lighting on the rider, great job! And the rider's got a nice whip on, which always makes a good photo better.

roast-dinner-pinner (Apr 11, 2012 at 15:56)

Glasses wont fix that, your screwed mate.

larryssman7 (Apr 11, 2012 at 16:36)

KTownRoyster (Apr 11, 2012 at 16:37)

Colors? you mean yellows

nouser (Apr 11, 2012 at 16:43)

probably looking at another photographer or something.

jhmurphy (Apr 11, 2012 at 22:50)

StinkyKieran (Apr 12, 2012 at 13:53)

Number7 (Apr 15, 2012 at 13:34)

I'm quite sure those are the natural colours...

salvafonolla (Apr 15, 2012 at 14:57)

colors are typical of a backlight

vt6spd (Apr 11, 2012 at 3:03)

"Giant" whip!

Ha ha ha ha haa haaaa haaaaaaaa oh I give up

TheStig04 (Apr 11, 2012 at 16:10)

AAAustin (Apr 11, 2012 at 19:18)

and hes hanging onto the side of his bike ?

domparsley42 (Apr 12, 2012 at 4:16)

Omg it gets worse

lstanners (Apr 11, 2012 at 22:36)

We've gone a Story Trooper yesterday to Tony the Tiger today. I say this all the time but that pic is so mint it wouldn't look out of place on the wall or an art gallery! The fact it's got a rippa hucking some massive jump is a mega ultra bonus. yeah, mega ultra!

lstanners (Apr 11, 2012 at 23:20)

Jesus, got to slow down when I type... We've gone from a Storm Trooper yesterday to Tony the Tiger today.

Nice execution of a remote flash. Not too bright, just enough to highlight the rider, but not enough to make him stand out too much among all the natural light.

joezboyo (Apr 7, 2012 at 12:02)

This has to be POD soon..

BrendanONeillMedia (Apr 11, 2012 at 0:44)

Lighting and colours are amazing, with the colours of the trees in the background the rider really pops out; he really stands out! Amazing.

OliScale (Apr 11, 2012 at 7:09)

i think he stands out so much because of flash? i think it would looked better without flash to be honest, the rider almost looks photoshopped in.

Bogumil1202247 (Apr 11, 2012 at 7:45)

No, pic and light is good but this whip is shitty and looks ugly. I dont know why in description is motowhip because for sure it isn't motowhip. This dude looks like he would lost control or something.

mph51 (Apr 11, 2012 at 8:36)

I think the initial shocking contrast of the pic is what made it a pod. Looks sick!

makaron (Apr 11, 2012 at 9:21)

@bogumil - ziommmm ale zobacz skąd wyskoczył!
great use of natural light and external flash, superb!
my PC's new wallpaper

Bogumil1202247 (Apr 11, 2012 at 11:56)

@makaron - z hopy a skąd by miał wyskoczyć?

elTwitcho (Apr 11, 2012 at 22:15)

Woulda been stoked if he used a gel over the flash so the lighting matched the rest of the scene. So close to being amazing IMO

willHapa (Apr 11, 2012 at 0:05)

the way he just pops out is amayzing

DAOPB9 (Apr 11, 2012 at 0:12)

I dont understand what is so amazing about this pic, would it still be cool if he wasn't decked out in matching race gear?

tworldsmine (Apr 11, 2012 at 13:50)
