Very nice - been thnking of hunting down a few BMX/Skate Park types of places for some action shots myself
Nice shots. But with a bit of a crop they could be even better. Lose the roof in the top left, and bring up the bottom a bit to lose the side of the ramp in the foreground. Will help to clean up the photo a bit.
Thanks Ian.
I can definitely recommend Southsea, especially when there's a competition on. It's a great park with a lot of history, from skateboarding, to BMX and now scooters seem particularly popular there. There's quite a few little skateparks in Hampshire/Surrey though, Farnham, Farnborough and Aldershot all have setups, though it's mainly scooters I've seen using them.
I would have gone right in on the crop, like the attached, if the quality was there in the original, but I guess it's a personal preferenceView attachment 118507
Yup, I know the one in Farnham as my lad used to hang out there a fair bit. I'm always a bit wary about something like hanging around a skatepark with a bunch of young kids. I think, unless i've had permission from parents, i'd rather try and find an official comp or adults to photograph
Thanks Seba, all feedback gratefully received. Do you mean cropped like this?
Spot on. Much cleaner photo now.
Looking at where they jump and the bandstand in the background, maybe next time move to your left a bit, see if you can get riders perfectly over the top of the bandstand.
Good start though. Keep going!
