Judges' Feedback
Good, slow pans can be tricky to shoot well. Marius not only nailed this Danny Hart at 1/40th of a second, but did so with not a whole lot of depth of field (f/2.5 is pretty shallow). Plus he was willing to commit to the motion blurred pan; some shooters are unwilling to try slowing it down because a poorly executed pan looks like crap and at the World Champs, you don't get very many chances to shoot the marquee riders. Compositionally, he's got good diagonals working to sell the shot. Danny's a little dead center, but that's a nit pick. Overall, this is a great race shot, more so for the difficulty of executing it properly.

Marco killed it on this trip to Bolivia. Rene is going pretty big for a short travel bike and an open face helmet. Seeing the rider's face truly helps make this shot - not that the epic location was lacking. The fog rolling in below, lots of background and colors that are absolutely popping in the light they had to work with make this one a killer shot.




A lot of photographers ask me about which flashes they should get, or how to shoot with off camera flash. Those are great questions, but before you think about them you should think about composition, natural light and timing. If you don't understand those basics then artificial light will only make your bad photos light up. Lunatyk is one of many photographers today that take amazing photos without any flash at all, proving that it's really not necessary, and this shot is a great example of that.



Shooting POV photos is pretty easy now that we have dedicated POV cameras, but it takes a little extra effort to do it properly with a full size DSLR. Justin Olson does it properly here, hanging his Canon 5DmkII on Andrew Taylor's chest to get this epic shot of Ryan Howard. Not only is the quality on this shot great, but the timing is pretty bang on as well. This is the kind of shot that takes a few attempts to get right, you have no idea what you've shot until afterwards, and these guys killed it. Great work!

Ahh, the fisheye. Everyone wants one. Everyone uses one. But very few use one properly. Norbert not only used onr properly, but went the extra step of taking advantage of all the best attributes: depth of field and field of view. Compositionally, the action is just enough above center to not distort the bike too much, and the leaves in the bottom break up what would overwise be a poorly balanced negative space. The strobed dust trail adds a great framing element as well as leading the eye to the action. Technically, the lighting's a tad hot for my taste, but it's not blown out, and utilizing a second light to sandwich the rider helps create a better sense of 3 dimensional action as well as freezing the front wheel--this shot was taken at 1/200th of a second, without that second light kissing the front wheel and the rider's right foot, the front wheel'd likely have had some motion blur on it instead of that sharp edge.






Great shot - it has all the elements working for it: great action, great composition, great lighting. The action is stunning: how many of us wish we could be T-Mac in this shot? Compositionally, the heavy weight of the tree on the left forces the viewer to focus on where the action is. And the action is backlit against a slice of deeper shadow, making the rider pop even more. It doesn't get much better than this.




Shooting straight into the sun can be tricky, and shooting wide is usually the best option. Andrew Wilz takes full advantage of this using his 14mm lens to make this ridge line shot look amazing. Compositionally this photo is pretty awesome as well, the diagonal line of the ridge creates a really dynamic feel to the image, and Brian's position in the shot is bang on, as is the sun. Even the lines of flare work well here.

This wall ride in the Whistler bike park has been shot to pieces by many photographers. This is a fresh perspective using a tilt shift lens that is one of the coolest photos of this wall ride that we've seen.




The story telling and eye movement that the bike light trail paints across this image is what makes it cool and stoked us out. Photographers trying unique things with their cameras brings votes!




We don't need to waste your time with words for this image. Simply sit back and look in and live it.

It can be dangerous getting too caught up in decorating images with too many foreground items to the point where the action is lost, but we all agreed that this is a risky shot that 'fit'. The straight lines and curved lines play off each other well.




We've all seen lots of puddle smashing shots before, but this one was lit very well and has a nice balance of visibility to the rider and very cool displacement of the water from top to bottom.





Simply a creative, artistic way of expressing some solid dirt jumping. The shallow focus from the picture taking camera helps build the attention to the in focus rider doing the no foot can.

We thought the photog did a stellar job finding an angle which gives the rider enough separation on a dull, overcast day. Great decision to go with the B&W application making use of the blown out sky. The timing of the still couldn't have been better!



We see many 'roost' shots, but this one takes the cake for having the most creative angle. Having the dirt at the top of the lip in focus and the spray closer to the camera out of focus creates a beautiful layering effect. Staying low to the ground, capturing the sick scrub by the rider tied everything together.



Right off the bat, the placement of the rider through the fence caught our eye. The dirt jumps seem to be located in a pretty open area so using the fence as a foreground element adds some impact to a simple location. Having the rider face the shooter during this corkflip helped create a stronger image as well.

Sometimes when you shoot into the sun the flare blows out your whole photo and makes everything look soft and blown out. Nic has cut really close to that line here with this great into the sun shot with a longer lens. Longer is relative of course, as this image was only shot with a 90mm lens, but it's still executed very well. Shot at 1/200th we can only assume that Nic used flash to help try to create separation between the rider and the background. However he did it, it works, Great job Nic!



It's technically challenging to shoot tight, fast action. The shooter nailed the peak of the puddle roost showing the split second curtain of mud. It's always nice to see shots that focus on the smaller details of our sport like this one!



Beautiful use of natural light, the tuck-flip is fully extended and the fall colors are firing! We really like the dark trees placed in the foreground, creating depth as if we're there watching the session. This is one of the strongest dirt jump photos we've seen.
