Cool stuff. There is a new skate park near my house I keep saying I want to go and shoot some stuff. These give me more inspiration to do it.

Questions:

1. What lens did you use? I see in your sig you list the 24-70 but these appear wider than that(on the D300) but it may just be my eyes fooling me.

2. Do you tend to follow the rider out of the bowl and shoot or do you pre focus on the area you anticipate them coming out?

Thanks

Yes your right its not a 24-70mm well except for one of the pics. I actually used a 10.5 mm fisheye for most of the shots.

What i do is follow the rider out fo the bowl. I really dont do prefocus because there is no communication between the rider and I so I have no idea which part of the bowl he/she is going to come out of.

Love the fisheye shots. They could use a little fill flash. Some very nice work though

Wow, Cab still skates! I love skate and surf shots.

The fish can be very easily over-used, but it was perfect for these shots.

Well done!

Totally needed some more flash on these. I should've changed the batteries on mine

I totally agree with fisheyes being over-used especially with skate photos. But I knew I was shooting this event in a bowl so I decided to rent one. Im kinda glad i did since i was kinda getting sick of using my 24-70mm for everything.
