good work

[Acute Exposure]

Thanks! Hopefully round 3 will be the best ;-)

Something to keep in mind for round 3, if it involves stairs, gaps, handrails, ramps, etc. (as in your first shot), make sure you get it all in the picture. There are some exceptions to this, but for the most part, the obstacle is what makes the whole trick. In the first shot, he could be doing a hardflip (can't quite tell what he's doing) off a curb, big deal. Or he could be doing a hardflip down a 10-stair over the handrail.

Thanks for the input!

So something like this (but with a hardflip) would be better.

Yeah, that's a little better. Even that barrier he's got at the bottom of the stairs add's an additional element to what he's doing. Something else you can try on that one is to get a lower perspective (even if it takes laying down on the ground sometimes) or a different angle of view to help exagerate heights and distances. Try creative angles like laying down in the middle of the bank with the camera as close to the concrete as you can get it while still getting the full set of stairs and the skater in the shot. Move around and try different things.
