Dont call It gay or Whatnot because your opinion wont matter if its a stupid comment.

I like these a lot. Good and sharp and captured at just the right moments.

If I'd change anything it'd be to get closer to the riders and fill the frame a little more with them.

1,2, 6 and 7 stand out for me, keep 'em coming!

 

[TomWaterfall]

I see what your saying, some of my photos are trying for composition, whilst others are full frame ones to emphasise trick

Fuller frame ones

Whats going on with the kids head in that last one? Is it a HDR side effect?

 

[superstat]

Didn't actually realise that this kind of sport took place....thought they were just available as toys....cool...

Well done on the pictures....

Nah i think the shutter is too slow.
It happens to me sometimes, when the shutter is too slow and using portable flashes, just speed it up abit

Nice stuff Tom, not like i havent seen it all before though lol

Ryan, The idea of them as to have blur, as it was for the blur section of my art project?
Thanks people

This would probably make a good backdrop for one of those p/shops with several quick captures in it

Lol ok, but all i was answering was what was making them blur, i was just saying like its shutterspeed, it wasnt any hdr effect.

What is that light source? It makes the photo for me

 

[RyanYoung]

Great stuff Tom, really progressing.

 

[TomWaterfall]

The light source is a Metz 36-c2 flashgun and ebay slaves
It blew over with the tripod, i really expected it to have broken

 

[Charlie C]

really love these photos, great action shots and some really nice different compositions too.

Thanx for introducing me to the idea of scootering in skateparks, looks like they do some pretty extreme stuff!

I'm thinking of getting myself an off camera flash and i see that u use a pentax like i do. I'm just interested in how much you paid for your flash setup and where you got it from, cause price is a bit of an issue atm for me, but i'd really like one.

 

[TomWaterfall]

Haha thanks mann
My flash cost me £40! :O Brand neww
My slaves etc were £25 with delivery from hongkong
A transmitter for the top of your camera and 2 recievers to connect to the flash.
Ebay it

 

[Charlie C]

well if i can get one for that cheap!

i better start ebay searching...

 

[ElCapone]

why would anyone call it gay, looks like fun to me, i bet its hard work also, great shots

 

[TomWaterfall]

Some more, sorry for the overexposed deck on some, i really need to make a diffuser.

 

[RyanYoung]

the last photo is really amazing, love the dramatic lighting and great timing.
2nd shot is sick too.

 

[Les McLean]

I like where you are going with these, looks great fun to photograph also
