April and May Pictures Of The Day

First off - I have to apologize for not getting April’s results out in a timely manner.

No excuses…

April’s Picture Of The Day Winner:
We gave the April POD to Carl Warren for his piece “Blind Ambition.”
 
blind-ambition2.jpg This is a shot of Mike Estes on his new Brodie out at Syncline, WA. The great thing about this photo is how the contrast of the shot brings out the gradation of drab colors, as if it was a painting. These colors also help to bring the viewer into the rider’s mind space. It seems forbidding, yet some how alright. Check out Carl’s galleries on this site: Main Gallery FR Cup#1 Fr Cup#2
May’s Picture Of The Day Winner:
There were a lot of similarly good photos for the month of May.
 
bearclaw2007080407661.jpg We can’t overlook this picture that Karen Johanson took of Darren Berrecloth at the BearClaw Invitational. More than any other dirt jump or freeride related photo that I’ve seen, this photo shows us that moment when it all comes together. The perfect exposure and focus are the reason we can view the photo ins this way. We see shots like this a lot in trail riding, were the photographer is right in the cockpit with the rider. The photos of the rider nearer to the ground are easier to get. But, in all these kind of shots we can see that “Moment” at it’s finest.Check out Karen Johanson’s portfolio site.

March Picture Of The Day Winner

picture-195.jpgSo, we have decided to build a collection of the best photos of mountain biking. To do this we are running a Picture of the Day, a.k.a. POD, contest. We have invited the public and photographers to submit their PODs. Each winning POD is considered for the Month’s Best POD. The photographer of that Top POD gets swag and notoriety.

Submit your photos here. April’s winner will snag a Fluidride: Like A Pro DVD and a Bones Over Metal T-shirt.
