Well I posted up some skateboarding shot's a while back and took on board peoples opinions, one of these may ring a bell if you saw my other thread? Just after opinions on these :) Ignore the watermark, it's just something i did for someone who wanted the photos and i didn't want them taking credit :LOL: :p

good shots and full of information..perhaps too much
isolating the competitor from the background can be sooooo difficult

keep shooting
 
Thanks mate, yeh i don't want to OVERcrop as it will take too much out of the photo, i tried to leave a bit in to show the whole subject and to show the height of the ledge etc

Thanks mate

Why do you say i need a better lens? What would I be gaining?
Click to expand...

he could mean a long lens wide open to separate subject and background more effectively...say 300 at ....it will cost you for a prime but they go wider...
a zoom probably will do f5.6 and when used close up may just blow the background enough
coupled to high speed should give appreciable results
 
Nice pics, #2 is my fav as you can see what's going on properly i.e. no background noise etc. Imho you should try to capture just the skateboarder and the obstacle they are using, nothing else unless it strengthens the image.

What lens did you use btw?

I use a 70-300 VR for my skate board shots and find it's perfectly capable of getting the shot. In fact I used to use the 70-300 G and found that to be great as well if you're short of cash.

Great stuff :)
