"At events like the Telus Festival, photographers come out of the woodwork to see what they can get.  When I noticed the sun position in relation to the hip gap and the empty space over the trees, I thought a shot could work well with good enough rider positioning.  I used the manual camera settings that I normally approach situations like this with until I found the right balance between sunlight and rider illumination, then I just enjoyed watching these guys send it. I think it's important at contests to really test your creativity and pay attention to what's around you to work with-- not all competition shots need to look the same."
