Self Snowboard sportraits

[Jimmyhickey]

Went to the local beach again, was planning on something different...me in my snowboard gear looking up waiting for snow, but it was getting too dark. Reading up on snowboard photography and reading through my magizines finally pushed me to the edge, I had to do something involving photography and snowboarding.

not really happy with these first two, it was just to dark and my pp couldn't save me.

Wasn't really happy with those so brought out the work light attatched to my truck...

general C&C on the last three would be appreciated. I have tried working on what you guys have suggested in the past, this time I did too many head on shots(again..) but I am pretty satisfied with the last three:eek:

Ah thanks man, this will be my first winter as a photographer as well, I can't wait to get out there and get some snowboard shots.
Transworld is driving me nuts, I keep looking through the same magazine, over and over.
There are so many sick snowboard shots it's insane, I hope to be able to take something as great as the stuff they put in there some day:)
