Tried some different things with the processing to make them more urban / street, so we shall see what the opinions are :D

TFL :thumbs:

No 4 for me!

[KenCo]

I like them....No1 is possibly a tad too much but it really works in 4, they are all very good though!

[kfridge]

1 & 4 for me...not sure 5 works though, not as much movement in compared to the others.

[Sheep]

No 4 for me......did they lose their skateboards?

[mobilevirgin]

They're cool - and the lomo style processing in the first one suits this type of photography. Good work.

Thanks for the comments, I think you're right about #1, Got a bit excited with the sliders :eek:

i like no's 1&4 best, great processing :)

[Jimmy_Lemon]

Nice! Wish I had gone wider than 70mm now :( 1,2 and 4 for me! :thumbs:

These were all with the nifty 50, what a great lens :D

1 & 4 for me,...with #4 being the best.

5 shows movement (in the hair), but compositionally it does nothing for me, so doesnt grab me :(, and 2 the same really.

Number 3 I think has potential, but youve gone a bit too far on the angle IMO. it's corner to corner and the bar just runs right through the frame, cutting it in half, which also helps make it *too* skewiff for me :)

Number four for me....

Did he require a splint after the landing or magic kiss from mummy.....

Thanks for your comments, might have to revisit the angle one, as I did it in Lightroom ;) :D

:lol: Nah, just a bit of magic sponge :D

Cool set, think 4 and 5 are my favourites. Subjectively I found some of the vignetting a bit heavy, at odds with the runners' space they are moving into.

[dundiggin]

It's funny that the least proficient of them comes out best/most often in the photos!

It was interesting watching them practice. Newcastle could be a strange place to be on Saturday when there are dozens of them doing their moves about the place.

1 & 4 are my favourites, too.

:agree: Would be a good trip, too bloody far for me though :D

Thanks for the comments :)

wow great shots, some good movement in them, especially 5. 3 is a little dull, not the peak of action. The others are top qulaity, nice one.

[moomike]

1st shot for me mate, very nicely done :thumbs:

Thanks Mike :)

[WanderingMind]

Great shot Matty :clap: no. 1 and 4 for me :)

[Toothie]

impressive shots, well caught with good processing:thumbs:

[mattyh]

Thanks guys, really appreciated :)

[paulc]

I prefer 1 and 4, they have the cool urban look..they have the good sense to wear airbag trainers to protect their knees, and then no helmets..Madness.

[kelack]

Nutbags!!!! That must hurt (says she who used to play rugby!!!)

Good shots there :thumbs:

[kelack]

No 4 for me......did they lose their skateboards?

:lol: I thought that at too when I first looked at them :D

[newyorkaddict]

I like number 1 the most, got an almost film feel to it, looks nice and grainy and i like the gritty colors:thumbs:

[Jas]

I think #4 has the best composition, but I also really like the look of concentration on #2 as well.

The processing is perfect for the subject in my opinion and Parkour is a fascinating subject.

[mattyh]

Thanks very much :)

Fancy coming to Newcastle on the 6th April? We're spending a day with these guys (plus lots of others) shooting parkour all day :D Might be a bit far to travel though :)

[gman]

I like the first one the most, it's got a real film look about it (as opposed to digital - not movie if you know what I mean)

[mattyh]

:lol: Thanks :D

[EdinburghGary]

1 & 4 are awsome.

[onefivenine]

Great shots, great PP. Interesting subject!:)
