It's weird that photographers spend years or even a whole lifetime, trying to capture moments that added together, don't even amount to a couple of hours.

    The first one is awesome, try adjusting the levels on it, the colorslook kinda dull, but the shot overall is amazing.

    Cool stuff. The skimboarders are definitely fun to watch.

    The skate board shot would be cool too...if it wasn't a butt shot :D

    Good action BW thumb.gif

    You don't seem to have any problems catching interesting shots clap.gif You do, however, need to work on exposure and post-processing, IMHO.

    The first one is a stop or so under exposed. As mentioned move the right slider under the tail (using levels) to brighten it. Add a little saturation and voila, an image that is much nicer to view :D

    The last group are over exposed by at least a stop also. These are tougher to fix since it looks like you lost some highlight detail. But, again using levels, move the left slider under the left tail. You might also need to use some curves.

    If your camera has a histogram, you may want to check it as you shoot so you can make sure you're in the ballpark exposure-wise.

    If I have offended you by messing with your pics, I apologize. A pic is worth 1000 words and I felt a visual example would better illustrate what I am talking about.


    Anyhow, good stuff and you've got some excellent timing clap.gif

    Lovewd the shots , But seeing the improvements really helps. I really need to master curves and levels myself. I THINK i get what you mean about the "tail"

    Really nice job capturing the moment, you've got some phenominal action shots there! thumb.gif I agree they need some post-processing, but all the elements for excellent shots are there already - just need to bring them out a bit.
