We we were riding back to the parking lot after a great evening of riding and photographing on the famous Slick Rock Trial, when I noticed a wonderful sunset glow to the west. I wanted to find a nice ridge where I could have Janine sillouteed against the skyline. When I saw this rock, I knew I had the perfect place!
After getting set up and beginning to photograph, a German photographer who also had been working with biking model came along and saw my scene. He suggested that a second biker would help the picture. I knew it was a nice way of asking if he could photograph the same scene, but I had to admit, two bikers were better then one. So someone half way around the world probably has a fairly similar image as this one. He stood far to my right and probably had a much bigger gap between the rock and the bikers – maybe he left the rock out all together, I kinda wonder, but probably will never know.
Here are more mountain biking photos.

Great shot Ron! Jeff and I rode the Slickrock Trail 13 years ago. My how time flys! It was great fun!
Very Nice Image in deed! You should have exchanged E-mails so you could see the different images 🙂
The proper respsonse would have been, “What a great idea. Here, take my bike and helmet and go stand up there next to her”.
Hey Ron,
That’s a great shot – and the guy’s right, 2 people definitely add to the mood of the photo.
So, maybe another lynx photo now?

Hi Leo,
No problem – you can ask more questions.
The best choice would actually be the ESi. The ESi has more mega-pixels and a larger screen on the back.

Really love the shilouette. nice shot.
