Nothing?

This can mean bad or good...

I like them, but I'm not an expert in anything. LOL. My faves are 2 and 4, though the perspective in 3 is pretty cool. Nice job!

i think your exposures are good, however you should pay a little more attention to background elements. Most are very busy and take the attention away from the action.

Two options to help is to use a shallow DOF, or shoot at more of an angle to catch more sky in the shot to help solo out the subject.

At a snowboard Competition there is not much time and space for that.

If was out in the city it would be different and plus i had to work with the sun's lighting.

But thank you, Exposure is hard to control on snow. Especially when then clouds rolled in front of the sun every minute like waves. Making me constantly Change exposure compensation.

madi wack killin it... kind of a bummer there were so many comps that day but im glad to see people still shooting it.

as for the photos they look good i would maybe like to see faces and if you are close enough i would throw a flash on it and get some fill light. not that is a must but it will make your shots pop really hard.

keep shooting eh

[Wummy]

Love 3rd shot but I dont know how did you manage to shoot in that angle??

[smeff_jeff]

looks like a super fun setup.
pictures are good. as a another snowboard shooter i can vouch for you about the difficulty of shooting on snow. every minute clouds, sun, snow changes and you're adjusting no stop!
but that makes it fun? doesnt it?

[saefratboy88]

Nice pics. What was your setting on these if don't mind me asking? Thanks
