Few pictures from my second shoot.

Today I've been quite busy, no blog about my shoots as I've been to college and then when I finished I went straight out to take another shoot, this one wasn't planned and only happened because I had my camera on me. A Friend took me home after college so I could grab skate shoes and my board, I saw my camera on my desk and just naturally picked it up. Which brings me to say that whatever you're doing, wherever you're going, take your camera. Even if you aren't planning on taking pictures, I wasn't planning on it as I'm doing a shoot next Monday, maybe Tuesday (which I've planned).But today I was skating and then thought about some cool pictures I could possibly take and then I could try them out and experiment as I had my camera, it also counts as a shoot for my photography too. Not to sound lazy in any way but if something goes bad on Monday which ruins my plans totally then I can still say I've done a shoot already. I have to do a shoot once a week for the next few months but making them twice maybe three times a week for a few weeks can really give me a chance to analyse them more deeply and extend my own knowledge and improve myself to my full capability.I will show a couple of pictures taking in today's shoot but will talk about them more after finishing up some coursework.I will also show my camera set-up in another blog in a day or two, to show you guys what I use and what lenses I have. 

I like this image as it was taken quite randomly, well I faced my camera towards them to get a picture but saw he (Robin) was setting up for a trick and just thought it would be nice if I caught the trick (which I timed wrong, could have been better).
This was taking with the flash on so a continuous wasn't really something I could do, I'm actually unsure if other cameras can take very fast continuous shots with the flash on, mine is very slow.
(if anyone knows how to help in anyway or if all cameras do it then feel free to let me know)
There is a lot of action going on at once which is why I like it, there's arms swinging around which would catch your eyes and there's also a long strip of lights on the right which may direct your eye down the road into the two speed limit signs which caught my flash.
Settings:
ISO - 800
Aperture - f3.5
Shutter Speed - 1/100
Auto white balance used.
Flash used. 

To make this effect I played around with the white balance which made a more yellow effect on the lights, I used the shade effect on the white balance option. If you compare the light shades on this image and the lights on the image posted with 3 people skating then there is an obvious difference on the lights, I very much like how this has been captured, although after further inspection the skaters trousers are the same colour as the floor, and his t shirt is the same colour as most of the light, to make the skater stand out I may get him to wear brighter shoes or a wrist band which will make him catch you eye.
Although the lights may drag your eyes down towards his head anyway.
Settings:
ISO - 1600
Aperture - f3.5
Shutter Speed - 1/125
White balance - Shade

This one was also taken with the Shade option on the white balance. Only difference is that the aperture is 5.6 and not 3.5.
5.6 has a smaller hole than 3.5 which means it's letting in less light now as the hole has gotten smaller as the shutter speed has stayed the same. I prefer how it'd darker as the skater stands out more because his t shirt is one of the brightest things in the picture, although you can't see his board which would have looked nicer if you could.
Settings:
ISO - 1600
Aperture - f5.6
Shutter Speed - 1/125
White balance - Shade

Tomorrow when I'm free I will show most of my second shoot, I may not put it all into one post like my first shoot as it seems like too much, so I could potentially create my shoots into about 3 posts. Please leave some feedback as it would mean a lot to me.
Also, I've made a Twitter page for StreetShots which would mean a lot if you followed :)
