Dedication

This is a snap of a friends back garden who I ride BMX with. He's spent the past few months digging a set of trails in his back garden to ride. They are big and tight to ride. I certainly wouldn't get through them without killing myself. All hand dug and sculpted by hand and shovel. The picture doesn't actually do justic to how impressive his jumps are. It's the most random back garden ever in the most random house ever. It looks derelict and abandoned, kids used to regularly drink and have bonfires in it, graffiti up his house etc... before he decided to build these.

Just looks like ant hills to me.
Any chance of seeing the house?
Sounds much more interesting!

Was going to say, don't ever go into the estate agent business pete!

What was it taken with? Looks somewhat distorted/stretched to me.

Not as much as you I'm afraid. We can't all be as big a w@anker as you!

It's the sigma 15mm-30mm lens at work again. It's addictive!

I take it you were at 15mm there so, given the stretched appearance of your mate?
Like Dink said, it should be fun to photograph, when he starts using it.

That's a great shot Pete. I love the atmosphere. The really tall shovel & 15mm lense creates huge height in the shot. If you had a spare hour/2 I think doing some burning & dodging would make the shot look even better.


Cool Pix!!
