After all, OTM is your magazine. When it comes to pictures, the best advice we can give is to put yourself into the cockpit of the bike you see through your camera's lens. Shooting trials is a combination of anticipating the rider while capturing the terrain elements that display the challenge. The rider should almost never be alone and without situation, and more importantly, the perspective and tension of the situation. All photos don't have to be dramatic, there certainly have been shots inside the pages of OTM that aren't necessarily so.
Every situation has some kind of detail that sets it apart from the rest.
Take for instance watching John Tomac scream by you at an unbelievable rate of speed well over fifty mph in Mammoth Mountain's fastest Kamikaze Downhill corner of days past. Not even on the brake levers. Everyone sees every picture differently just as everyone sees every picture the same. Look for what excites you, look for what others aren't seeing. Imagine a shot that sucks the reader into the picture, though the camera, out the lens an on to the bike.
