Skate Park shooting

[Preacher]

C&C welcome.

First time shooting skaters. This is a local park and these guys were awesome. They took the time to explain the various ramps, the tricks they were doing etc. I had a blast!

Good shots - great look of concentration on the second chap's face

All nice catches, nice and sharp. They all look a tad overexposed though. Maybe a small levels and contrast tweak to give them a little more of an edge?

They are... I left the camera on 800 ISO like an idiot. :bang:

It was mid day, 100 degrees F. and the concrete reflected light like you wouldn't beleive. I took 300 shots and saved 35 through massive corrections on the RAW and some post processing in PhotoShop.

I wish I could tweak them more, but those remaining spots are REALLY blown out :bonk:

Been there, done that
