this is what i was going for. but mine were in daylight.

was it light enough for the rider to see ?

brilliant shots
 
Cheers mate(y) The shots were taken at around 7.30pm so it was fairly dark, but our skatepark has floodlights. I used two flashes both at 50% one to the left on the floor facing up to highlight the ramp, and then one to the right on the top of the ramp to light Toby.

I looked at your shots, i think you need to dial down the apperture to get that almost evening look to your pics, this way you can up the flash power and it will darken down the ambient. I have found this works well in the middle of the day as you can get that very dramatic sky look. I know someone mentioned gelling and changing your white balance, i found if i did this, i ended up with riders with blue faces:LOL: Hope this helps(y)
 
Great photos - so sharp and perfectly lit in my mind
 
the first one's real nice. good lighting, good style, although like you say it could be framed better.

the second is technically well lit but the rider lets you down by looking a bit dead and uncomfortable (maybe you caught him a fraction after the peak?).
