That, my friend, is what is known in techincal terms as "rather fucking hot." They really should have used that! |
Cheers, I wish they had used it but they used just one frame from it, and used a sequence I took from the top instead.

ive seen a few, they look sweet
1 example i saw was of bearclaw doin opposite 360 drop to reg 360 over a gap in one sequence, the one he did for nwd 5, such a sweet shot _________________ Ride like you have insurance.

It's already quite cluttered thanks to the leaves and shadows, but it's the first time I've tried continous shooting from that angle, certainly tricky to put together in photoshop...

Props for putting that together. VERY hard and time consuming to do and you've certainly done it well.
But...I've alyways thought multishots from angles like that just aren't really worth the time to put them together. They always seem slightly pointless as you can generally see whats going on from jus the middle photo and also look very cluttered IMO.
To me multishots are for showing a long line or a massive gap etc. Each to their own though and like i said you've certainly shopped it well.  _________________ www.watfordriders.co.uk |

yeh but imo, even though 1 pic can shgow it all, the sequence adds interest that hte single wouldnt, therefore making the pic better _________________ Ride like you have insurance.

Except it's not a 360, it's a table barrel roll  |

I actually totally agree, that was the first and last one I've done from that angle and it was just a test of the FPS although the harsh shadows, thin trees and small leaves add to the clutter in that one. I doubt I'll be doing one again unless I get asked too! |

I wouldn't put it that way, sounds like they pay me tons to come along and take pictures But yes, they do use some of my pictures and I get some bike parts in return  |

lol, I bet you wish it was that way (about paying you tons to take pictures)...
Still, i suppose they're kinda doing you a favour - promoting your works where other possible clients might see it & pick you up. _________________

Thanks, but it's really the stunt that makes the picture, if he wasn't there it would be a bit boring

Ideally, and bike related, but I'm not sure how realistic that will be... |
