Oh and he is now on teh FaceBooks too:
yum
Nice photos by a very nice chap. And some very good looking subjects ๐
Hmm he should look at taking that up professionally..........
Most of those are lovely, a few seem not so good and (imo) detract a little from the portfolio.
Plus lots of them are wrecked by having a marin in them ๐
What ones are you not keen on Wibble?
(Just idly interested: I know some people don't like Seb's signature wide-angle-and-slave-flash for some reason)
They all make me want to get on my bike
tbh it is probably that i'm looking at them using my (bad for colour) screen. Really like most of them but there are a couple that seem washed with no real colour saturation or a little too sharp for my eye (these are two things my screen really does badly, gamma is too high and the contrast is terrible but its nice and big). So probably best to ignore me really.
erm how did he do that?
I remember when that came out. chest mounted camera, remote release, Mike (pro elbows) Davis riding pretty slowly, seb running alongside with a cable release IIRC. MIddle moor, one of the finest trails around.
can't see him in the shadow and it looks FASTseb running alongside with a cable release IIRC
Only realised it was middle moor when I saw "peak district" at the bottom 30mins ago*, had a look and thought "Hang on I've ridden THAT!"
Recognised the boredale hause ones aswell, seb obviously has good taste in trails ๐
*when i had it on my phone it was 640x480 or some other silly small res
can't see him in the shadow and it looks FAST
well, running behind. Slow shutter speed.
Or course, I may have mis-remembered. It was originally published in ST mag and I recall there was an article (or maybe forum post) about it, but that was pre-hack
Lovely photos but I gave up due to download time ๐
It's pretty near instant for me. Crap connection?
Lovely pictures but as Wibble89 says, he could do with easing off the post processing a little (for my tastes)
Nice site ๐
Is this Seb Rogers the new messiah or something ?
Dont forget the resident snappers here:
I think he's more like the old messiah - been seeing his photos in mountain bike mags for as long as I care to remember. ๐
Yup some very nice stuff there.
I still reckon .duncan off here's bike photography is some of my favourite though.
They are a bit samey...
I guess that's the trouble with shooting mainly for mags. They generally want blue sky, action shot, gurn smile, elbows out, processed with plenty of contrast and pop, and enough space for some copy text.
I have commissioned a book cover pic which Seb took, trust me, it ain't samey and I could not have worked with a better guy.
the images look great on a big monitor and they scale well.
some great atmosphere/action shots.
the bits of dust in focus on the crank bros wheels make me flinch though โ (but it's my job to look at details like that)
They are a bit samey.
exactly what an art director is looking for, delivering consistency, coming up with the goods whatever the challenges and the ability to work to a brief.
Agree with that.I still reckon .duncan off here's bike photography is some of my favourite though.
I met Duncan at 'The Farmer John's' night DH race last September, also a nice (very) young man.
