honestly, a bit too epic to really enjoy. its awesome, don't get me wrong, but missing a bit of the gritty-ness that truly makes a mountain biking photo a pod.. in my opinion anyway..
@bigburd i kinda like how it it tilted. makes it a little more less conventional. instead of the rider being the moving object, he is the level objest and the earth/horizon is whats moving.
I've seen ALOT of flicks of this gap since we brought it back to life a couple years ago. My friend and I build up the landing and smoothed out the run in along with some other things, ever since then its been poster-ized more then I can remember We;'ve never even touched it up! Amazing when you consider the traffic. Glad its got a POD now!, and people are enjoying it!!. Great shot Dan!
That's great - Thanks for building this up so everyone could enjoy it!! Your not joking when you say its got ALOT of traffic and coverage.
Thanks to everyone who puts in work on our local trails!
this photo would be way better if the photog bothered to keep the horizon horizontal. How could you take such an amazing pic and not pay attention to that? haha
save it, rotate it 7 degrees clockwise, crop it... done.
Put the horizon at the 1st third, rock at the left third also.
... and you are right, it works better like that.
I do not like the flash on the rider. I would prefer the dark image or sillouette of the rider than have it washed with logos and brand names. Good photo, just not as organic as I like. Again, merely my personal opinion.
