Skateboarding Continuous Shots

Sorry for the lack of posts over the last few days, and for maybe the next few days, I'll try and post some photography news etc. to keep the posts going as they should be but I haven't been doing shoots as I've been at home doing the written work towards my coursework, over the summer there will be a wide range of different focuses in my shoots, I may even get a job to do with photography to get some experience over the summer too, which will be enjoyable, anyway, I may be going to Cardiff Thursday to get a shoot in, which will be exciting if it's packed, I liked doing the last shoot, it was fun, maybe this time I can focus on the people more, and the interaction or different types of people.

Anyway here's a few pictures of some skating taken the other day in the lovely weather.

FISHEYE LENS SHOTS: SKATING

Recently took the fisheye back out to use, testing out angles to get some nice shots, also starting to record using it too, So I may be uploading clips onto my YouTube channel within the summer, be sure to Subscribe to my YouTube channel beforehand so you can get notified when I start releasing skating videos.

At this point I saw how blurry the people were and knew that I had to put my shutter speed to the max it could, like 1/4000.

After changing the shutter speed the skaters are much more focused, sharper and the image doesn't look bad, the ISO may be up by a lot but I think my camera may handle it well, unless then ISO wasn't all the way up then there we go.

 Some people don't like this, but I do, the way the lens flare sort of captures your attention and then points you into the direction of the intended subject, being his shoe.
Of course this wasn't something I focused on getting, it was just random of how it came out.

I love this photo too as it sort of shows some action taking place in two places at once, first of all the skater on the right (Owen) is walking away from where he was, maybe just after failing a trick or something, he is catching my eye with the brightly coloured tee he is wearing and then the lines of the skatepark direct me towards the skater on the left (Rowan) which is taking some huge air up the flatbank.
He is also silhouetted which makes it look much better.

Thanks a lot for viewing my blog and reading it, I want to see if people are enjoying the posts I put, let me know on Twitter or just share the blog if you want, thanks for the support to my local friends that have been sharing too.

BMX Photos

Instead of taking photos of skaters at the park I done something slightly different and captured BMXers, in this park they go higher and can get better photos depending on what they do, most of the photos are RAW but ones at the bottom are edited photos.

These photos are ones I took some time to edit and make look better, I'm not sure if they look too obvious and over the top but it's something I'm still trying to figure out and make look better.

This one wasn't as edited, slight different filter was placed onto it. ^
