Extreme Bike Show Photo

Photographer’s Note

I captured this shot from the St.Kilda Beach Festival. This is one of the show during the festival.

It is a really dangerous sport. Even they are professional, one of them got an accident during the show. Hope that he is OK now. It was a hot day (37 degrees!)

Thanks for looking.

whoa, what a pose!
and what a timing! you have a great camera, and great feeling for situation, pressing the shutter at the right moment.. and good composition, cropped or original...?
very nice!

Perfectly timed! Great action shot, the lack of horizon makes it seem almost surreal, brilliant.

What the heck ... ;-) Excellent capture, Din! Brilliantly sharp and colorful, and by rotating it you really made it look like a surrealistic dance act between man and machine. Very well done.

hispic (7399) 2004-02-12 6:53

How incredible! beautiful timing. more wonderful if it was deep blue sky.
Perfectly composition!

izanoza (777) 2004-02-12 8:04

Which photograph, catch at the good time, the angle is perfect, the superb colors. Beautiful success.

Perfect sharp capture of the movement probably as everything was still for a fraction of a second. I like the opposite diagonals of the bike and the driver.

JonnieWalking (318) 2004-02-12 8:42

The timming here is perfect.
Congrats. This one goes to my favs.

Clochette (8076) 2004-02-12 9:14

Wow, excellent shot !!! good timing of course, and very well framed. The pose is esthetic, making a nice '>'.

Did you use the repetitive-shot feature to get this one ?

Great work again Din !!!

henrye (3498) 2004-02-12 9:39

Being a bike-owner myself, I like this a lot! Wonderful photo of Freestyle MX, capturing the essence of it. Great composition and colors too.

richtersl (3544) 2004-02-12 10:20

A great shot! You knew exactly when to press that shutter.

jpettigrew (1355) 2004-02-12 13:32

Well timed action and lovely colors. Well filled frame to, just enough room around the edges.

Rockyboy (20582) 2004-02-12 15:14

This one is very impressive... I am afraid for him! Dangerous indeed but here very nice capture just at the right time. Well done, Din!

cxxl (2680) 2004-02-12 15:17

Wow! Excellent capture Din. Perfect timing. The very bright colours too are a good contrast against the ordinary sky. Very well done.

PechePassion (483) 2004-02-12 16:25

dominique (11414) 2004-02-12 17:08

Impressionnant , cadrage au top comme la photo .

Guzman (577) 2004-02-12 19:13

Detail is simply superb well done and Bravo

Motrem (2392) 2004-02-12 20:43

Impressive composition, it is incredible to have been able to get this jump in the sights. Angle completes of the motorcycle and the person, colours are excellent, the image is sweet and clear. It's a great shot.
Impressionnante composition, c'est incroyable d'avoir pu capter ce bond dans les airs. Angle parfait de la moto et du personnage, les couleurs sont excellentes, l'image est douce et claire. C'est un chef d'oeuvre IMHO.

whereami (1451) 2004-02-12 21:41

Well, if this isn't just about perfect then I don't know what is. You've absolutely nailed the exposure and focus, and achieved great clarity and sharpness. Brilliant!

osado (134) 2004-02-13 4:30

lucky fella you are! ;-) Very nice composition!

Tammy777 (156) 2004-02-13 21:43

Fabulous Capture! Wow! You really caught quite the shot!
It is a truly amazing photo!

jhm (85052) 2004-02-14 4:29

Very well chosen moment for taking the shot, very nice colours and sharpness. Beautiful!

manny (21378) 2004-02-16 7:26

Great great shot! Like the colors and composition. Smart PS work too. You should be proud of this work.

If I were to improve it (though it is already very good), I would probably include a slight motion blur and crop it a bit tighter. (How is this doing in another challenge? Good luck.)

Georges (11185) 2004-02-16 16:03

Un seul mot pour finir ce que tout le monde a déjà dit.
Bravo pour cette maîtrise

randompics (913) 2004-02-17 10:47

This is a perfect shot. Great timing and great framing. It could merit any sports magazine cover page..

shadi_atos (403) 2004-02-22 6:10

Great shot, very good sense of the sport shots, so clear and nice well done

Taureau (130) 2004-03-21 15:24

Vraiment bien réussit comme photo, autant de mouvement et si net et bien cadré. Un vrai succès. Je la met dans mes favoris.

gringofil (0) 2004-03-30 9:44

I guess this one is the best of the buch. His pose is just excellent. You pressed the shutter at the most important instant to capture this. Amazing. Nothing to add. I'll just sit back and enjoy the show. Well done.

cmartos (6086) 2004-04-05 6:26

Absolutely awesome picture. Excellent vertical framing. The positions of both, bike and biker extend to the whole frame and give a very dynamic aspect to the picture. No motion blur thanks to a high shutter speed, which makes the subject frozen in time...very good. What a timing Din! Congratulations.

Amusing show, amusing photo!
