    Skaters ... shot

    I posted a few in the other thread . Here's a few more of the better action shots. Turns out there were more BMX riders than skaters... apparantly skaters sleep in later than BMX riders... go figure. I think it's a time system that they have worked out ... unintentionally lol.



    A little bit of post correction on this one.. he had a light pole growing out of his head so I cloned it out.




    Tried for something different on this one.. slowed the shutter down to 1/60 and panned with him for the motion blur. This one was shot by my buddy on his Canon 30D.

    You did good on your first trip out!

    I especially like the second to last one with the guy with not shirt flying thorugh the air. With that tree in the background it gives a good sense of height. Keep it up!

    They dont look all that bad. There is some really distractive background, and the light it a bit off, but hey, its not bad.

    I can't really tell what's going on in some of them. =[ If a riders in the air it'd usually help to see how they got there, and how high they are. Because I mean anyone can get a foot in the air and have a picture taken from underneath them, and make it look high.
