Downhill

[PatrickBranch]

Here's some shots from a shoot on Tunnel Trail a while ago. My crappy shock ended up snapping by the bottom, literally just riding along... so I couldn't do some runs w/o my backpack full of stuff.

1.
I'm pretty happy with this one overall.



2.
The contrail is pretty distracting and I wish the shadows on the dirt, below and rocks, up where I am weren't blending so much.



3.
I overall like this shot. I could layer mask a darker exposure to bring the ocean down.



4.
The leaves in the left-top of the frame distract me from him...



What do you think?

Nice! Thanks for posting something that's not baskeball, Pat

On that first one, is it really that off-camber or are you tilting it a bit?

The photo of the rocky / step section sweet. I remember riding that and wondering if I could make it. And I did. And I was psyched. That section sums up Tunnel Trail for me. I need to hit that action again. It's been years. And yeah, I'd definitely bring down the ocean. No reason not to. Leaving it as-is is leaving it undone. Make it perfect.

haha

It looks like it might be tilted..Here's two more from tha turn.




Nice! It's an awesome trail. I'll work on that stair section one.

Great stuff. I wish we had a bit more greenery around here -- and maybe an ocean! ;)

Those look good! Like 2 and 4 best. Number 3 may benefit from a multiply layer around 15-20% and brush back in what doesnt need it? Also the 2nd one in you 2nd post!!

I like the 1st one in the 1st post. I like the foot and the lean. Makes it look like downhill truly is...A somewhat dangerous sport....

Nice job..
