Photo Of The Week: Benjamin Smith

“I took this photo one evening at my friend John’s mini ramp that was just recently constructed. As the sun was setting we decided to setup up an older box jump take off lip “upside down” to create a pocket air transfer. I setup two vivitar 285hv’s for lighting to mix with the reddish evening glow that was going on. Went with the low fish to help the ramps frame the rider with their distorted look.”

Photo Of The Week: Josh McElwee

“Not a ton to say about this one. The Cult guys were having a sunset session on the dirt jumps at Woodward East earlier in the summer, and I happened to walk by with a camera. Jeff Brockmeyer was already set up shooting fisheye with strobes, so I opted to shoot long-lens into the sunset. Dakota did a big 360, and this was the result.”

Photo Of The Week: Chris Ashworth

“The photo was taken on a Monday night ride in Sheffield. Shayn and I wanted to shoot a photo and after some time waiting for the shop to get quieter, we got a chance. The idea was to use the light from the shop, rather than a flash in the fading light. It took some time to get just right but thanks to Shayn for persisting because we definitely got the result we were after.
