    Re: Skateboard Photography

    I think they are both pretty good and stand out compositionally. It would be best if you uploaded the image to the thread rather than link to it as many of us don't want to click too many times to get to the meat. . .
    btw, welcome to the forum, hope to see more of your fine photography.
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    Re: Skateboard Photography

    Good timing on both. Shutter speed was set fast enough to freeze the action too. Composition needs work though, as you have too much unflattering stuff in the background on both. If you could get closer, maybe looking up at the person, that would make a good pic, but you would have to be careful.

    Echoing what Gary said, best never to provide links cause almost no one will go there if they have to go through multiple steps. I guess we're lazy at this site. Try linking them to show in the forum page.

    the first shot IMO would of worked really well with the camera tilted vertically and if you had the whole skater in the frame and the other dude out. but good work!
