#6 is very well done!
Great shot.
WOW.

[Sauk]

geez what is that guy shooting (black lens)

[alan_potter]

Bigma?

[medicdude]

looks like the bigma to me. the other guy a 300 or 400? and on the other body a 70-200? and the other body something WA? must be nice

[metalman1010]

Standing shooter looks like he has a Sigma 800mm 5.6 lens because of the foot pad.

Kneeling shooter has a 400mm 2.8 IS lens. It looks like he has a 15mm fisheye and a 70-200mm 2.8.

I really like the composition of #5. Great shots :-)

[Adamora]

Thank you all very much ( to those who commented ;p)

[TopGear1Ds]

I like #5 a lot. I would crop it just a hair lower to remove the tips of the skater's fingers from the frame though.

and that is lens envy indeed! It's crazy to me how small the 70-200's look in that shot.

[Adamora]

thx :), those lenses are to die for

[namasste]

LOVE #5 and 6 is solid as well. Nice captures for sure man!

[Adamora]

Ty namasste ^^

[namasste]

Ty namasste ^^
of course. well deserved!

[McBride61]

Dude this rocked! I like them all. What kind of PP did you do?

[Meatface]

Nice crisp shots. I really like the contrast of the Mt. Dew in #1 and think the legs and skateboard in #5 might look really cool in B&W.

[Adamora]

Thank you all :D

@ McBride, the only pp i did was contrast and USM

and ill try that b&w thing meat. thx

[Adamora]

nr 4 is my fav...

btw why didn't you went to have a chat with those photographers ? i always do that and seriusly those guys would love that picture, and it's damn fun to do it too, in the end of the day, we're usualy a group of 7 photographers and if possible we always go dinner.

btw in this page i nr 1 is also pretty good.
i never shot this kind of event so don't i can't cc them properly

sounds like a canon 400 2.8 and err maybe sigma 800 ? or maybe bigma.

[Adamora]

haha thanks silver =), and the problem with those photographers, they were too obnoxious...never gave me a second look after i smiled at them...looks like they hate people, but i did snap pictures of them taking pictures of the Dodge girls ;) little perverts, and thanks for the comments.

[JSJR4]

I love #5. Great shot

[Adamora]

Thanks :]

[BenJammin]

#6 is really awesome, i love the pan. One thing that bothers me is that it doesn't show where he' s coming from or where he is going. He is just there doing a big ass backside flip.

[jmpsmash]

i think #5 is a winner.

[Adamora]

Benjammin: lol, same problem im having :( stupid trick is hard to figure out lol

thank you both.

[Big WIll]

Number 5 is the best IMO. The others i believe are lacking faces... Get lower as well!

[Adamora]

Oh i tried big will, the bastards wouldnt let me in the Area since i wasnt associated with a magazine...:c

[Shameless Productions]

I like the guy waiting to drop in(5)
