Re: Skaters in the Skate Park ( first time )

Good captures... Always impressed by how smooth the inline skaters are.. They just have a bit more flow over things, where the boarders seem to attack the terrain... Different equipment requires a different style...

Speaking of the terrain, it'd be cool to see a bit more of it in some of the shots, just to get a little more perspective of what they are hitting... You have it in some of the shots, and I know if you back off too much you loose the expressions and details of the riders... Just a mix of superwide in there might work I guess...

Anyway, love your photos... Always solid...

Thanks for the CC always nice to hear from you. Good point about perspective, I struggled with it the whole time. Below is one that's kind of cool too. One of the skaters was filming the tricks and I got a shot of him filming. It give you an idea of how high the were going, this was a small jump.
