More Urban Skiing from the Twin Cities

[Citizen_Insane]

Recently went out and took some pictures of my friends jumping off of stuff around town. What do you think of the post processing? I've been trying to get a more film-like look out of my pictures; I guess it just apeals to my sense of aestetics. This was my first shoot with my 70-200 f/4L and it performed like a champ (#1 and #2). I know I oversharpened 3 and 4, but I'm too lazy to go back and reprocess them right now. I also shot a lot of film that day, so when I get it developed, I'll post some of those too. C&C encouraged!

2. - This one was photoshoped in a big way, anyone see where?

#2 is a good shot with the sign. Maybe a touch of shadows/highlights for #4.

Thanks for the comments. I'll mess around with #4 some more and see what I get.

The photoshopping you mention for number 2, would it have been to get rid of that big yellow thing seen next to the tree in #1?

Great shots by the way. I love the no skiing sign in them too.

I like the first 3 shots a lot. Number 2 especially - nice contrast. #4 not too crazy about with the skiers back to us. Good shots.

Spam, you're right, the picture didn't look right with all the scaffolding behind my friend's head so I replaced it with some windows cut from the other side of the image. Ihoney I agree with you about number 4, but unfortunately there wasn't really a spot to go on the other side without being in the landing and Matt likes to turn left I guess :)

Great shots, love the idea of urban skiing :)

I know MN is flat but this is just sad....:lol:

They look like they were having fun. Pics are good, especially with the backgrounds you had to deal with. The pictures sure are busy though.
