Michigan Snowboarding! + fisheye

First time shooting snowboarding, C&C welcome.

even on Flickr, the boarder isn't in focus... also, if you have it on Flcikr, there's no reason to use tinypic.... just link it here from Flickr... hit the share button and grab the BBCode.

This is why shooting with a WA can be tough for something like this. Unless you're right on top of someone, it's hard to focus correctly.

Just like va rider said why use tinypic if you have flickr? And I personally like the concept, but obviously the subject isn't in focus one bit when you look at the large picture.

Im still new to the site so I didn't know I could use my Flickr to link the photo but this was shot at like f11(?) and was focused right so i think he's in focus it's just my shutter wasn't fast enought because I tried hiding the camera in the shadow of the rail because I was using a flash and I was just trying to balance everything and get the flash to be strong enough in full daylight. You know what I mean?

When you shoot something with a wide angle lens and you are not close enough, regardless of the F-stop, it's going to be tough to get the subject in focus, especially when it's such a small part of the frame.

I think I would like to see a landscape composition for this shot or at least crop some of the sky out. The amount of negative space in the top of the frame is a bit distracting.

Also, you're shooting with a fisheye, get as close as possible to your subject! It really adds to the shot.

Crop!

As stated, I'd have that fisheye lens eyeball to eyeball with the subject.

Even with a 16mm lens, they flinch because they think I'm going to hit them with the camera.

if you can't get close with that lens, crop and crop some more. nice shot tho.

I was probably about a foot away front the rail. I had to jump away right after i took the picture just to not get hit. But I mean its my first photo so I still have room to improve, lol.

this is sick!!!!!!!!11!!
