Seeing how I don't live too far and it being a beautiful day I'd take the dog and camera for a walk to the Skate Park.

Cool shots Colin!!

Great captures! Nice and sharp to boot. What were you shooting with? (lens) settings etc.

Thanks Colin.

Thanks fellas. A couple of these were shot in manual 100iso f-4.0 or there about using 35-105mm 3.5-4.5 lens. I switched to sport mode because of the movement. It was sunny out and the exposure changes with every couple feet that I panned the camera.
Here is the data from the first shot.


35.0-105.0mm @ 105.0mm
1/1600 sec, f/7.1
Mode: Sport
Metering: Evaluative
ISO: 400
AF mode: AI Servo AF

These are great. The first one is a real work of art. The others are just good action grabs.

Very nice shots! I'd try to blur the background a bit on some of these, though. My favorite is #7, maybe because it's very dynamic and there isn't much background.

Hi Pet

uuhmmm where do I start?

N1: the thing about lines is that you need the flow, specialy with a subject like that. Needs to go somewhere. so is better if he start at the midle right so that he has some space to go. and the lines also will direct your eye to him.

N2: is just your dop is too much. trow it out of focus, and always remember to see your backgroud. In this pix is the water in the back or front of him.But is very good action shot.

N3: Is better I like to see eyes and people faces as it gives more interaction. the bad... you cut his arm, could have given some sense of a bird is we could have seen the 2 arms. Also what I like isthe 2 lines at the back they work very well out of alinment.

N4: waaaay too busy

N5: it could have been better if we could have seen the shadows, and also could have been more interesting. Gooosh the pole! look for better angles.

N6: I like this one as everything comes together, poeple at the back look a bit bored only.

N7: Much better, the only problem is that now the shadow is way too long. and the dude is almost showin his uuhmm underpands.

N8: I also like this one except for the following, the other scatboard next to him. and that pooooole and bottles.

hope this help.

Ohhh by the way do not be affraid to get involve with your subject, if is going to improved your composition or whatever. Maybe you can ask the dude to jump againg this way or that way, also is always nice to tell that you are shooting for so or just for your website or something. and lastly do not forget to say thank you.

oooh get close! get involve!
