    Skateboarding

    A couple of Kids down the street were out playing yesterday, so I grabbed the 30D and played too! Jimmy B.

    Re: Skateboarding

    These bring back some good times when my friends and I would set up some ramps in the front yard and jump them with our skateboards.

    I like the panning and blur on the last one. Nice.

    Thanks Homer & JS
    I agree back round isn't the most appealing.

    Nice job Jimmy. The city just put in a skate park behind my office in a little park. I'm going to have to make it over there and see if any of the local have what it takes to make PR's Sports Forum.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Re: Skateboarding

    Skateparks are great settings for good skate shots. But the best settings in my opinion are run-down parts of the city streets, or back alleys or abandoned warehouses. It gives the pictures somewhat of a real feel, ya know? I've seen some great pictures in random areas of cities.
