    Flying on a skateboard

    I don't normally do sports photography, but my son's friends congregate here and offer me a great opportunity to get some fun skate shots. Just thought I'd share.

    Yeah, unfortunately this was pre-fisheye lens for me, and I was laying in the street next to the ramp. This is pretty much full frame- I caught whatever I could. Thanks for the advice for next time!

    much nicer composition, though i would still crop off a bit on the left to make the crop even on the left and top.

    Re: Flying on a skateboard

    I like them both. The second as livin points out has the best comp, but #1 gives a great sense of height. I'd be pleased with them if they were mine for sure.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
