He may have accidentally bumped her off the bike, but she straight up assaulted him. CALL THE COPS.

he accidently hit her because she is not aware of what is going on (mt, biking), but she assaulted him with a deadly weapon (her bike)

You are right to not dumb it down. I just misinterpreted basic composition. it is incredibly difficult to jam three months of information into one thread and I you did a great job. no way I could of done that. I took your thread out of context. We were talking about different target audience. Victims of miss-communications (that sounded like a band name). Anyway I love your thread and I am in that 15%, and I did learn so thank you for your time and i would love to see that video you were going to do...if you find the time. where you teach at? Thanks again

I loved this... but i think its above the 12-16 year old kids heads. I got my degree in fine art from ucdavis, and have gone through all this. But the younger kids... the ones responsible for the crap photos are going to read three lines and quit. Its just over their heads. I think you need to dumb it down a lot. For example 30% of all photos are just snap shots. Don't just jump off your bike a snap a shot, we need to explain different angles, let them know its OK to get dirty and lay on the ground climb a tree, play with the angle, get into taking a picture. Don't just stand there. Find that angle that makes the jump look even bigger. know where your rider is going to be and where the distractions are. You don't want distractions competing with the subject matter. Explain to them don't have the sun behind your rider or you'll be dealing with bad shadows. Let them know about the best conditions to shoot in, I like cloudy days for my pictures. Another helpful education tool would be have more example photos done right and wrong explaining why they are good or bad. Don't get me wrong this is a great thread rich with information but we have to look at our audience, and write to them. only about 15% of pinkbikers will read the entire article, and that 15% is not the problem. On the other hand its good to have a refresher. I do thank you for that. Its just my thoughts I am not saying I am right. because it is subjective just like art.
