I enjoy shooting skateboarding. A lot of fun but can be hard dealing with showing up to skateparks and finding them completely empty. It is middle of summer in Oklahoma and hot as hell so I blame that mostly. I feel for skateboarding you gotta get up close and personal and its one of the sports that allow you to be able to do that. Gotta deal also with poor lighting in skateparks at night. Still new to it all and having fun with it.

That kid is actually a little shredder, he did a heel flip right into the shot, landed it and tried ducking. He entered a best trick contest and landed this bank gap.  Little Ripper shredding the gnar. by jakedropkick, on Flickr

xzzy posted:There's a skatepark about 10 minutes from where I work that I keep trying to build up the courage to go visit. I'm just not comfortable sticking my camera in someone's business, regardless of whether they invite me to or not. Just go and do it, I have never had a skater come up to me and say "nah man I dont want you taking pictures". Technique wise I would say just try not to be all up in their business but do what you gotta do to get a shot. I feel getting lower up underneath them is the best even though I don't follow this always though. I like to get whatever they are doing in the whole shot, like a grind get the whole rail and box its on but dont have the entire park in the shot I guess?

DJExile posted:That's honestly as good a method of practice as any. This is what I did/do to learn panning and like my first time out I got one exposure I felt was halfway decent out of like 200 so dont get to down on yourself if you dont pick it up right away.

JHVH-1 posted:I found some dudes on jet skis over the weekend, but they were too far away and without a zoom I couldn't focus on them. They were just too small for the camera to pick up, and too hard to track. It is stuff like this I wanna see in the dorkroom circles.
