BMX and Skateboarding - Film and Digital

[cherryrig]

Went down to my local park last again. (1st time in a while because of the rubbish weather!!!:( )

Seeing as I've had this roll of Delta 100 lying around my house for a while I thought I'd shoot it as I can develop it at college for free :D So I self developed the film at college and also processed plus made prints all by my self :)

Due to both my SLR's being Nikon I could use the "D" type lenses on my FM2. Sweeeet :) Just get the metering right off my DSLR and carry the settings over to my FM2

Here some images....

These ar eevry good! Well done for processing! I know when i did it at college, i enjoyed that part very much.

I personally really like the last one. The distance works for me and the tones too.

Thanks for that :)

The print looks better than the scan really. I don't think I have developed a film in over a year really haha. It was quite fun actually :D

You feel so much in touch with the photo when you do it all.

Anyone? No-one?

I put quite a lot of work here :(

I used three flashes. 2 SB-25 and a SB-26. Fired them off with my Skyport wireless triggers.
