> MY VERY OWN PHOTO THREAD (:
Just gonna post mostly skate photos in here for some CnC. Hope you enjoy. And please be as harsh as you want. Pretty keen to get into skate photog properly some day.
First up one I just finished with today.
Christian Rieper bs lip
Nick Simpson fs smith
If I could afford flashes and triggers and shit his damn face would be lit up
Christians the only person I really actually can take photos of haha
Gap fs lip, gap back in
One thing I do have to work on is editing consistency. But its obvious in the more recent photos I'm getting a grip
Jade fs feeble
Nick bs 180.
By the way these are all shot on a Canon 550D mostly using the nifty 50. Hardflip was on the sigma 10-20 though. Going full frame when I have some dosh
That's all for now, Will post some misc shots when I have more time. CnC is welcomed
Not bad man.
Timing is pretty good on all of them, exposure as well. With the backlip I'd consider panning a little higher so that the ground around the ledge is a little more viewable & the skater is slightly higher in the frame, or even going for a little bit higher angle to get framed perfectly in the square, but I like what you've done there. The hardflip angle is pretty out there, I'd probably have him as high as possible in the frame, more of the run up & block he's landing on, etc.
Other than that, keep it up dude. The front smith for example is really really good.
cheers man, i agree about the back lip photo, if i had a wider lens or full frame i could have done everything i wanted to haha.
and yeah the hardflip i just quickly switched from video to photo and took a snapshot instead, i just like the shadows and stuff.
but yes thanks, much appreciated
Man, i wouldn't be worrying about a full frame just now. What i would be doing is buying a basic slave set, and some flashes, get some sunpak 555's or something like that. A full frame isn't going to make your photo's any better. No hate, just advice.
thanks for the advice, earlier i bought a set of cactus v5 triggers and i have a couple of old flashes that i think will work with them. otherwise im gonna try and pick up a speedlite 430 ex ii
Nice pics Scott. Looks like you have a decent eye for composition and timing, just keep shooting and looking at other people's work. I wouldn't bother buying too much camera gear just yet.. some times it's nice to just work with what you've got. Timing is pretty spot on but a lot of these need level adjustments to bring out your dark tones.
First pic just needed to be tilted down - get rid of the dead space in the sky and show the run up on the ground.
My faves are Christians fs lip on the quarter and Jade's fs feebs
