B/W Skating on Full Pipe

[JKeena]

It's not a great scan but the original I printed got into a juried art show! I may be frustrated trying to enter the digital world but good ol' black and white printing never fails to satisfy! Later - Justin

P.S. I just found a brand new Polaroid ProntoB! (manual focus) with an add-on flash for $9 at a yard sale! Can't wait to play around with it and shoot some unique skating spots.

This is really, really nice, j. Reminds me of the classic skate photography - and all those orginal Thrasher mags I used to have. The ones that were all black and white and printed on newsprint.

I imagine the print has more detail in the shadows than the scan?

I think this is an EXCELLENT photograph.
It does seems a little dark, but I am sure it is a result of the scan. I am sure a "real print" looks quite nice!
I LOE the shadows, they create some nice patterns.
The barriers or whatever they are at the end of the pipe are good too, because they provide a good plae for your eye to stop.
Make sure you post some with the Polaroid too!
Either here or in the Critique Forum!

Very old school, straight out of "Dogtown and Z-boys".

Nice shot

Great shot! Just a wonderful concept! Submit it to some magazine, I'm sure they'd take it!

Nice shot,
