Summer Skateboarding

i haven't shot skating in forever... probably been something like 8 months.

back lipslide

Nice, I guess these were done at night with some lighting? How do the skateboarders like the flash when they're trying to do a trick?


Also, #2... something about his face looks a bit off.

sweet back lip and not a bad capture at all imo

and as for Erik_L... i guess some of them are used to it but the first time someone started flashing at me while i was skating it messed with me, i couldnt skate.. (or maybe i just used it as an excuse for sucking that day haha)

I've been shooting with Josh for 2 years and the Sunpaks were at around 1/4 power... not very bright. He's used to it. It's actually worse when we shoot with off camera flash during the day, because it takes so much power when you're stopped down to accomodate for daylight.

One more from last night, backside tailslide over the gap

I'm bummed about his hand covering his face but this was the only land and one of few that I framed correctly. It's not my favorite but I felt like posting it anyways.

Dude the light in this is sick.
I hear ya about the hand over his face though.

buuuump

so the other 2 skate threads get love and this one doesn't?

i used to search em all the time i hardly find them... im gonna go give them some love now haha

I find that on here my bmx shots don't really get much love. Cool lighting and comp doesn't seem to go down too well 'round these parts.

Agreed. Super tele lenses and stills taken out of a burst shot are all that matters round these parts I guess.

Hey, you givin' me lip?

I never shot any sports befor, so I don't know the procedure... If the weather is nice, I'm gonna let a friend man the 1D and I'll take my 7D with my 30 f/1.4 and have some fun at the ol' skate park again.

If you got anything else to say about my pics, say it in my thread! I need help!

I'd like to see some super tele skate/bmx stuff.
I've been shooting with my new 70-200 pretty much exclusively since I got it in April, I'd never had anything longer than a 50 before that, still no dolla's for a fisheye though.
