Dekt Out! Against an Azure Sky.

2007.10.14
Ollie and grind!


Love the larger than life perspective from a low, wide angle! Also added the polarizer from here through the rest of the set ... really does a nice job at enhancing the sky.

These are some pictures I took yesterday of our oldest son. He hasn't ridden a skateboard in a long time, but it didn't take him long to get back in the 'saddle' so to speak!

This was actually much more difficult than I expected it to be! I was shooting with a wide angle lens, and was as close to the rail as "comfortably" possible. It was not easy guessing when he was going to ollie onto the rail, not easy to nail the focus, and definitely not easy to utilize the rule of thirds!

However, what a blast!

eljapa Compliments! what a great set action shots, i am starting to like wide angle shots, you have to watch out because you are much closer to the subject then you think. i still have to learn about he rule of thirds :-)

pattyb Wow, outstanding angles!! I am amazed at how well some can maneuver these boards. You son looks like he really knows what he's doing!

mattandbranson #6 is A-MAZ-ING! Wonderful! I have been trying to build up the courage to go take some shots at our sk8 park...I used to run a computer lab at the youth center there so I know some of the kids, but I haven't made it there yet. These shots will definitely help inspire me to get there =)

soldotnamanda These will look GREAT blown up with the "spinning" shots! Great idea.
