thanks haris... by the way to anyone looking at this, after i uploaded it i noticed this version is pretty low quality and it appears somewhat pixelated.. the actual photo is definatley tack sharp.

i like this photo, but maybe as little more contrast in the foreground would be nice. The lack in contrast seems to cause a lot of negative space. good work nonetheless.

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!

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!

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

hah thanks for the compliments, Yeah i almost didnt put this image up because of the soft lighting on the rider, I was walking away to grab an extra flash from my bag and he just did it in front of me, i only had time to point and shoot! Thanks again,
Sam
