The framing is a little tight for me, but I like the angle.

Oh and as far as the fisheye goes. About 90 % of bmx photos you see in mags are the same photo- fisheye up close, focal point top right or top left. I often find myself falling into that pattern. ( just because it DOES look good)But i am trying to kinda stay away from the fisheye. I am thinking the strait 50mm 1.8 looks much cleaner and its much safer!If its dark out ill most likely have the rider stand where they are gonna be and auto focus it, then turn it to manual as to make sure i dont miss anything. But if its nice light ill almost always use auto.

Your right, if people arent too familiar with bmx, then they might have trouble seeing whats going on. I think with the title "barspin" and the fact that his bars are backwards most people should be able to figure it out. I think skate photos are the absolute hardest to explain. I skate sometimes, and even still when i look at a skate mag i have trouble understand whats going on.
Thanks!

If this was in a bmx mag fair enough people know whats going on the hand placment so on, but on here it could be anything? i think this is a great picture do you reckon fish eye len's work best for action stuff? it seems to be a common thing in bmx/skate stuff do you prefer auto or manual focus? let me know!

Great shot Sam. It sums up the way our society works doesn't it.... People will ignore this guy and pretend he isn't there, one of the new invisibles of society. But if someone else draws attention to him and 'shock, horror' takes his photograph to publicise this mans plight they all stare, glower, etc disapprovingly. I could understand if the man were a criminal or something and ths was a regular form of punishment but when misfortune hits a person and no one will help, and there is someone there trying to raise the consciousness of the population to this and the population tut and shake their heads at you then that is a sad thing... sadder even than the man they try so hard to ignore... What has happened to humanity???
Great shot, and beautifully composed and exposed. And I'm glad you gave him a dollar... (unlike the self righteous a55hole5 who tutted and walked past). Great piece of social commentary... (and now I'll get down off my soapbox).

Thanks for the good words! I gave him a dollar after i shot this photo too, poor guy. When i was shooting this, people were actually getting pissed at me. I was putting away my camera and a lady shook her head and gave me the worst look ever. I guess they thought i was exploiting him or something... shallow people!

Like the trick, love the spot, but you gotta get some more light in there. His shirt blends into the back ground too much. Makes it hard to see whats really going on here.

Sam,
This is pretty good. I'd love to see you get in closer with that fish eye... maybe even standing on top of the rail so his tire is right up in your face. The light is over exposed, turn down the power a little and open up that lens so you get some better light on the rest of the ramp and all that grass. Keep those colors poppin'.
Over all I think its good. Keep e'em commin'.
TOby

thanks for the good words! I was actually kind of going for a lighter focal point. The distraction from the lighting makes it more dramatic i thnk. you cant see it, but i had a slave flash set up right to the left of the frame so i could get that effect.
thanks,
sam

This works out kinda nice. I'm digging it. Nice evening light? Is that right? The angle works, and both riders are clear and in focus. Props...
