Photo Fails (Patreon)

I was out biking today, and this guy was doing this large drop.

I grabbed my rarely used backup backup camera, and it was configured all wrong.  Fuck knows what I was doing with it last!  And I think buttons got bumped while it was rattling around on the floor of the car.

Anyway, I shot this guy doing cool things at ISO 25,000 ( horrified-face.gif ) on an old Olympus E-M1, and...  

It's a confetti festival, if I'm being honest.  This is the best I could do to process it. There was an incredible amount of noise and huge splotches of unwanted colours from the high ISO setting.  So I cut out the colour entirely, unsharpened the whole thing to reduce the confetti, and then dropped the contrast around the rider to attract the viewer's focus.

Oops.
