    Nice! Maybe a tad tighter crop but the light and action are nice.

    Really nice shot. I agree about the crop. I would just shave some of the bottom off.

    I took this one tonight, its called a hippie jump, you let your board slide under something while you jump over, I have never seen someone do one this big, unfortunately he didn't land it, but came very very close.

    That first one (of the most recent set) has a really cool lighting effect.
    You've got the flash and ambient light working well. And the fridge doesn't
    hurt either thumb.gif

    awesome pictures!

    I remember when I was really young, reading an issue of Thrasher (skateboarding mag) that had an article about skating photography. Ever since then, I wanted to shoot skateboarders and snowboarders...my only problem, I could never find anyone that was any good at riding...at least not good enough to take pictures of them.

    Yea sometimes it sucks when the rides arent good enough to take photos of. Usually I will take the opportunity whenever I have it to go with some riders that are really good. But you can always just go to the skatepark and shoot randoms, skaters love the camera and they would be willing to do the trick if you asked them too.

    This is my most recent shot, took it last night at like 11 when I should have been home studying. :D

    wow, again great shot. This really inspires me, I think I may head to skate park someday just to see what I can come up with.

    Watch that left side of the photo, looks like there's a light of somesort just bearly in the picture.
