BluChilli indeed my man, indeed... it was dry and guys in the back didn't hold vuvuzelas in reality. You seem to know a lot about photography and post editing
What about this would possibly be photoshopped aside from the fact that it's b&w? Why would you even take the time to make such a comment? Also when you're 16 years old and you say "in my time..." it really doesn't mean much. I've seen quite a few in my time, I've been working with the program since before you were born, and I don't see any here, or even a reason for there to be any...
Tired of people saying "shopped" for no reason. I can understand if something actually looks fake, but if it looks like it's been altered it's not going to be POD in the first place. Of course I can only speak for my selections, and probably Sterl's as well...
take it easy ian, even if it were altered in any way, people appreciate it for it's beauty. i suggest we all do that, rather than pick virtual fights with people who have premature opinions. let it be
i think that there is a limit to how stupid people should be... its obviously not photoshopped, you can say it is but that doesnt make it a fake pic. its still a sick shot, and i seem to recall a pod quite a while back that was completely photoshopped. www.pinkbike.com/photo/5700308 it still made pod.
^^that picture was awesome and got POD though because it was creative. Having a real person riding a model track is just bad ass. When things try to look real when photoshopped its just stupid, but I think that things photoshopped like the picture in the URL above are just creative and cool from time to time as POD's
Wow... I only said it as a joke, have you never heard of the internet meme?? knowyourmeme.com/memes/this-looks-shopped Anyway I really liked the photo and I thought it would've been funny to include a bit of internet humour into it...
I was hoping that people would like this and it seems that they do for the most part. I really like this type of photo personally, the gritty black and white look to it really emphasizes and works with the mud. I've shot more than a few muddy races myself and this photo really stands out. It has a classic feel to it...
I love how the photo has a retro look to it (other than the black and white) even though hes riding a modern bike. Looks almost like a war photo! Excellent Work!!!!!!
K pink bike f*ck off with all the dh vods and pods the world know that dj you can do way sicker shit so why not make it dj or slopestule(here comes neg props) f*ck it it's just starting to piss me off
Sometimes there can be a bit too much of that. Sometimes it's easier and better to appreciate the "nice" photos out there. The ones that dont scream "look at me!", and have so much more to show and tell
I'm not even trying to be cliche. I genuinley like this photo for numerous reasons that I wouldnt consider "wow" factor
no, surely they are some form of olde worlde European beer drinking glass with a large rounded base, designed to quickly neck a frothy pint of Żywiec ;-)
People! Come for DH racing to Poland! There's no better chance to be on a POD! Photographers, come as well! Excellent conditions for epic shots.
