Default Havent posted in a while..more skateboard photos!

Bobby Stevenson, shot for Worship Skateboards company located in CT. Ollied from the dock, over the cement and in through between the two poles.

1d, 15mm fish, sunpak 544, vivi 285, pw's




Bobby Stevenson, backside tailslide.

1d, 70-200f4L, sunpak 544, vivi 285, pw's



Didnt get his name, frontside flip. This shot bugs me alot, his hand is blocking his face..shadows on the stairs bug the hell outta me. Pretty much, I hate this photo..haha

1d, 15mm fish, sunpak 544, vivi285 x2, pw's



Compliments, suggestions, etc etc?

thanks guys..

Very nice shots in my opinion. Good perspective in each shot plus the color and detail is fantastic. Nice work.

Great shots, you've got your lighting pretty much perfect besides in perhaps #3 but you knew that

I disagree, I think the shadows and lighting in number 3 add to it. Maybe its just me because I'm in the culture, but I like seeing body shadows in shots like this because really, no one skates alone. It's just a reminder that like most things young people do its about being part of a group etc etc. Just my 2 cents.

P.S. What type of lighting were you using in number 3?

I like them all. They are all good shots. But no. 1 seems oversaturated??
My favourite it no. 2! Soo simple (trick and shot) yet so enjoyable to look at (trick and shot )!!! POST MORE!

what do you mean by you being in the culture, as in you skate as well? i dont think it has to do with showing that someone doesnt skate alone, the shadow grabs my attention more than the skater does, im not the subject but the skater is. having that much of a shadow just clutters up the photo even more and is unnecessary..

Skin tones look fine to me as far as saturation goes..i love gradient skies! Thank you for the kind words!
