little empty warehouse we found the other day, set up some pole jams and a kicker over a crispy creme sign.

let me know what u think.

these last ones are of myself.

i like em. what kind of lense is that?

boXycOOt · 01-05-2007, 11:48 AM

I dont really like the fish eye lense for these photos. I think they would have been much better had the lighting been better, without a flash(cant tell if you are using one) and with a regular lense

first two or three are the best out of all of them. im liking the fisheye, lighting could be better.

pBum · 01-05-2007, 12:52 PM

i like the first two a lot... the rest dont really stand out to me

oldskoolpbn · 01-05-2007, 01:39 PM

ive seen this warehouse in pictures before from kids at my school, wheres it at?

Mr.Imagine · 01-05-2007, 02:31 PM

Wow... you look exactly like one of my friends, down to the shirt, shoes, pants, hair, everything.

kennmon · 01-05-2007, 02:45 PM

hotspots aplenty.

not frodo · 01-05-2007, 07:51 PM

pretty much everything with these is wrong. Check skatephotog websites for real advice on how to improve. I post on SAC and Skateperception.

Wrong? You cant take a "wrong" picture. But there is a way to improve to take a better picture.

subhuman2178 · 01-05-2007, 08:33 PM

yeah, i was using the on camera flash. dont have funds for other lighting yet. im pretty new at all of it, new camera plus the fact that i dont have photoshop anymore dosent help much for the colors in the pics. 1 and 2 are my favorites aswell.

jared is still fat · 01-06-2007, 09:31 AM

1 was pretty good. the others are nice mainly cause you gots a nice quality going but the angles are kinda bad. keep it up though

Hop_frog-V2.1 · 01-07-2007, 12:23 AM

Meh...the flash is really to strong in alot of them.

Filmshocker · 01-07-2007, 03:14 PM

Flash lighting is eh. Most of your pictures have good angles for the action shown. On the group photo, why did you place the guy in the center of the frame, while the other two are shoved off to the side? Curious

Hoosier Daddy · 01-07-2007, 04:18 PM

Wide angle lenses are fun, but remember in all things moderation. In this situation your lens view is much greater then your flash can reach. I like the first one becuase it shows the person in action and you can clearly see his face, while in other the main focus in on their butt, crotch, or elsewhere. Try working with different lenses, and experiment with different lens angles to get different looks to your images.

Overall, I'd say you did pretty good with what you had to work with

Keep shooting and try to anticipate where the best angle will be to capture the action and the skaters expression.

yeah, i just used the on camera flash, so my capabilities were limited. the one of the group was just a random shot i took, i just put it up to show the building, the shot isnt any good.

[702] NO$EY · 01-07-2007, 10:44 PM

You shouldn't be limited by on camera flash. I've taken shots with mine that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between it and the 580 EX...

ImpactkidzJoe · 01-09-2007, 06:21 PM

First one is decent. Talk to 'em before they start jammin to figure out what they are gonna be doin.

-owie- · 01-09-2007, 07:07 PM

I like the first one a lot, the others are weird. You have the timing right on almost all of them.

subhuman2178 · 01-11-2007, 02:56 PM

just got a hold of an old minolta speedlight for free. so hopefully im come back with some better photos in the next day or two.

iPwnF00lz · 01-14-2007, 04:48 PM
