Not as Planned

Gallery: POP PhotosPosted May 12, 2014939 views11 comments

I was photographing my kids as they mountain biked off some ledges. My daughter in law made a run and things didn't go as planned. After making sure there were only scrapes and bruises...no broken bones I reviewed the photos and gave a fist pump for this one.

Some of the best shot are 'Not as Planned' Richard.
And this is one of them!
Very cool, very well done!

Killer.
Sure looks like it could have been catastrophic. Glad it wasn't. I think you could sell this to Mtn. Bike mag.

Great capture! Glad all turned out well with your daughter, but very nice of her to model for the excellent stop-action image.

Wow, quite an action shot. Glad she was OK as it looks like it could end up quite badly. Congrats on capturing quite a moment. Very nice comp adding to the action.

OUCH! Looks dangerous on sandstone, Richard. She's lucky. You really nailed the timing for this.

What a great sharp action photo. I'll bet she wears gloves for now on.
