I've always been a fan of photographic works by Andreas Gursky and others that are huge in scale and still maintain amazing detail.

What: bike shot Why this angle: the air + the trail tells a good story. plus all those vertical lines kept the scene clean. Nice light too...looking up really "opened up" the image. Simplicity almost always wins - in this case it does.

If you're a regular reader, you know that I am on-the-record with a deep belief that photography and filmmaking are not all about speeds and feeds or how big your megapixels are compared to mine.
