Title: best rider photo ?
Post by: rarman1 on June 08, 2008, 09:36 PM: not sure whats best but i was thinking of

maybe pic of the month

or a

section just for photos of riding

as there have been some gooduns about but unless you read the particular thread you might miss it :)

and if people can use the name of where they were riding in the title it may help some places get some promotion

Post by: RATTY on June 08, 2008, 11:43 PM: Cool idea, lets do a pic of the month competition thread. Only 1 pic per person and then the winners go through to a yearly show down.
I know theres quite a few good pic takers on here, including at least one pro :daumenhoch:

Heres my trial entry

Title: Re: best rider photo ?
Post by: Longun on June 10, 2008, 01:18 PM: In that case, basically desaturate everything apart from yellow and green. Took about 10 seconds in Aperture, didn't even go near Photoshop. :)

Post by: Stodgy on June 30, 2008, 10:50 AM: Guys - if someone wants to set up and run a best rider photo comp - then no problem. Go for it.

Slap it in the NEW SCHOOL section and one of us will sticky it. Run it like the BOTM comps.

He had a really good line, and what you cant see from the photo is the carve. He was rolling in fom the right of the roll in, cutting across the bowl and hitting the lip at around 10 or 11-o-clock, and carving across to past 12-o-clock-center. It looked sooooo good!
