Here’s the cover shot from Issue 93 that’s currently dividing office opinion. In the style of Mitchell and Webb we’re asking: what do you reckon?
“It’s always been on my list to try and capture a mountain biking image with lightning in it, but the shot had remained elusive and sketchy at best. A trip to Sol Mountain Lodge, B.C. finally presented that opportunity while we were spending a couple days up there riding some of the newly developed alpine trails they’ve been building over the past few years. After a full day of riding and shooting, a big storm was building around dusk and still a way off in the distance. We set out with tripod and lights and started snapping off shots as the light show and storm grew closer. Once I saw this image with Nash’s bright colours streaked across the frame and multiple lightning strikes in the background, I was more than stoked with how the evening turned out.”

I like it 🙂
That’s ace.
As someone who rides in the dark half the year its great to see a shot that isn’t a “dusty trails somewhere hot” stereotype
having said that only noticed the lightning due to the title!
Great shot- will make a fantastic cover! I love a bit of Ad-hoc reckoning too 🙂
Like a lot. But mainly from a photography perspective.
Hi-res for wallpaper download please!
I want that on a big poster/one of them canvas print jobbies.
Thanks.
Actually just read “stoked” therefore I now conclude it’s crap
Amazing photo, but I don’t think I’d put it on the cover.
I also liked it, until I read the photographer was “more than stoked”, now I hate it.
So So
I don’t see any bikes.
Yeah, shame there’s no bike in the picture.
Love it, but no bikes?
My Reckon: Background pic of this is better https://twitter.com/SingletrAction1
Visually spectacular on first glimpse, but once it’s covered in title and contents blurb will look pretty messy IMO
Not a fan of it as a cover shot.
Luurve it and ditto the high res image on a poster tag

As a photographer, I love it. However, as a mag reader, it might seem a little abstract, rather than ‘punchy grab your attention’. However, I am a photographer, so I love it!
