2 New Photos

I like them, good use of lighting, thirds, coloring. you know the basics. The only problem I have with them as a viewer is the fact that I feel very distant towards the people in them. There's no connection for the viewer in them. On that first one, maybe have it where you are further down the rail and can see more of his face focused. Same with the second one, they just seem quite a bit distant. Maybe experiment getting closer to the riders and bringing the viewer into the picture more.

Hey dude thanks for the feedback. I find that I personally end up disliking shooting uphill at things because you end up not being able to capture the takeoff and landing in the shot. IMO it ruins an action shot when the rider appears in the middle of an object but you have no sense for how large it is, what the landing is like or what the takeoff consisted of. I'm constantly playing with different feels in my photos and usually I try to have the riders face in the shot, whether or not it is directly facing the camera and in these I decided to try and be less concerned with it.

I totally agree with you, I have a hard time with that too. Its tough for perspective of what's going on to combine with everything. nah man over all they're damn good.

i have to say skating is WAY easier to shoot in terms of angles because you don't have a steeply graded hill to deal with along with all the other variables of the spot


generally speaking at least

That, and there's no snow, its not cold, its not wet.

steezy..

i like the first one the best because it uses the color of the rail to the picture's advantage. the second one is sick but the white rainbow rail makes the majority of the picture flat and white

^^^ i think that's what really makes a great park shot. high contrast and bright colors
