wayne Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 Subliminal... That was me a month ago. I slammed a pole like that and had 9 stiches put in my neck! Ouch. Quote
Stonehead Posted July 30, 2004 Author Posted July 30, 2004 Uh, yeah. I just looked at how the photo was composed. I'm not much of a photographer but I seem to recall that one composes a picture by mentally superimposing a grid on the view, something like a tic tac toe shape. So anyway, I noticed something. Quote
Ratboy Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 Fake. Composition conveniently includes a skewed field of vision and the guy with the bike is just leaning on the pole. There's no motion there. This is staged. Quote
selkirk Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 I was wondering about that title, very very subliminiminabbble. and high enough shutter speed would freeze the action, no blurring. Quote
Ratboy Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 I don't necessarily mean by blurring. I fidn it ahrd to believe that anyone flying over the handlebars, as the photo suggests, would have his foot supporting his weight on the ground as it is, and his hand firmly gripping the handlebar as it does. His body position suggests he more interested in balancing the bicycle in that position than protecting himself from harm. Quote
catbirdseat Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 It is possible he is supporting his weight by using his left hand against the pole, but then what is supporting the bicycle? It's leaning towards the background. Quote
markinore Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 I object to the misleading title of this thread. I thought it was going to be about breasts. Quote
selkirk Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 No kidding, how about we just shift the thread to Jessica where it belongs! Quote

SnowByrd Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 Is there a 'Climbers Love Bush' sticker out there anywhere? Quote
