stay away from the obvious removal of shadows, try to make sure that the shot is clear of shadows before you make a shot, or be able to crop it out is best

Don't shoot scooterfags. Use fill flash. Use fill flash. Use fill flash. Get closer, closer, and closer.

(Yeah, these are reposts, but they're all the skatepark shots I've got.)

Also, there's another thread somewhere with a couple of great skate shots.

I find your lighting terrible. Mines not the best, either, but better than yours. At least I think so.

Get us some kind of EXIF, dammit.

>> beethy !HJGkSBB3Ao
shots are messy as hell
looks like you just pointed the lens at whatever would come into your frame without thinking about composition or distracting background elements
try again!

No he didn't. Guy asked for critiques, sv gave critiques, and he even posted examples of what he was talking about for extra helpfulness.
>> sv !!vC9KZM3Ch/H

You'd rather I tell him they're great and prevent him from growing as a photographer?

You're a complete asshole.

.psd for edit? What's that, a new RAW format or something?

>>150355

i cropped most of the pictures so i wouldnt be able to get the original photo back if i had to change something, and my poor framing cut his hand off during the shooting process

I've been looking to do skate shots. My problem isn't with lighting, it's getting them to be in frame properly, while they do their trick. Not that it's terribly hard, it's just frustrating.

Anybody have tricks or tips?

i felt the same, you cant decide how high they go up or anything, i guess maybe take a larger photo and crop? but then i think itd look a bit awkward
>> sv !!vC9KZM3Ch/H

Just shoot AS MUCH as you can.

Set your camera to continuously focus, and follow them from waaaay out and anticipate what they're about to do. They usually do the same thing many times over, and lines usually form to hit the same curb/rail/gap/whatever.

Hit the shutter *right before* you think you should. Then do it 300 more times. You'll get some win photos. :)

Three letters, RAW. No more lost information.

I would think it's just spray and pray technique.

>>150383
this infact is a piece of shit

"I find your lighting terrible. Mines not the best, either, but better than yours." is what im talking about

So, you don't find my lighting better than his? Hmm. His subjects are dark and don't pop at all. Not to mention poorly framed.

I think we are all missing the point that the first picture of the fat kid on a scooter with the gloves at a skate park trying to do a trick is the funniest thing ever.

That is pretty damn sweet.

Op, you should have just gotten all up in that fat kid's bidness. He's your best subject. Learn his ways capture them forever for us.
