Through The Lens – The Fisheye Lens
Love it or hate it the fisheye lens has played a huge role in BMX photography over the years and won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. It has a certain way of showing BMX in an incredibly unique light and gives the viewer a perspective that is only possible with a 180-degree view. Mass-produced fisheye lenses starting coming off of the assembly lines around 1960 and by definition a fisheye lens is “an ultra wide-angle lens that produces strong visual distortion intended to create a wide panoramic or hemispherical image.” Basically, it can turn what would be an ordinary photo into an eye-catching work of art. If used correctly, the fisheye can be an amazing tool that every BMX photographer should own. Read on to find out why.

STL MO PRO Flyer
Since the JoMo Pro changed things up, it looks like Tree have put in some work to make a fresh event happen in its place. Check out some words about the news and make your way to the contest if you can!
“Tree Bicycle Co. presents the first annual STL MO PRO BMX Park contest. After Autumn Ramp Park in Joplin, MO announced early this year they will no longer be holding their annual JoMoPro BMX Park contest we contacted them and worked out a transfer of the event to Plan Nine Skatepark in St. Louis, MO. JoMoPro has long been one of the biggest independent BMX contests in the US and we wanted to make sure the event was not lost. We have worked hard to put together the best possible event in the short time we had available and hope we can continue the tradition that was JoMoPro. Please visit www.plan-nine.net for more info.
