Houston Skyline + D300 + Skateboarding = TEH WIN.

***Fully Flared*** · 04-27-2008, 08:34 PM

Kicked it with my pops this weekend, went downtown to check out the new skatepark they are building (which, might I add, is absolutely rad) and somehow came across a great location to shoot the skyline of Houston without many distractions. Luckily had my board in the car (as I always do) and was like... shit... let's take a picture of me skating just to make the situation that much more epic. Obviously not a true test of skill (skateboarding wise) but turned out pretty ill. Hope none of you dudes are stuck in the 640x480 resolution era!

He also took some shots with his sigma 10-20 at the local park today... I'll try to get those pics up soon.

Enjoy!

how do u get such clear moving shots?

***Fully Flared*** · 04-27-2008, 09:20 PM

My Dad took these photos... so I have no clue. I'm just starting to get serious in photography (D50 on the way!). I will post up some of the EXIF data for you, hopefully it is of some help..

Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/1000)
Aperture: f/8
Focal Length: 26 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Exposure Bias: -1/3 EV

Here's some more of his photos...

Fast shutter speed captures the action with out any blur.

Rpm2 · 04-28-2008, 08:39 PM

it!

Shutter speed was REALLY fast at 1/1000th of a second. This is fast enough to capture the 'boarder quite clearly.

06Civic2nv · 05-06-2008, 05:41 PM

crazy.. nice pics..

***Izzy*** · 05-06-2008, 05:45 PM

Hmm, I think the first picture would have benefitted from a slightly slower shutter speed, lower angle, and closer to the subject. Also would definitely help to have him facing the camera.

Second picture...I don't know...something looks off about it. I'm not to sure of the skater being dead-center. I'm also not sure of the choice of shot. He's too far, and looks like he's just there, instead of being what's being photographed.

Afrikantk · 05-06-2008, 08:34 PM

How do you like that Habitat?

***I<3MyHonda*** · 05-06-2008, 10:06 PM

In addition, I don't think it's very clear that the skateboarder is the subject in the second picture. The tall buildings are definitely taking attention away from the viewer.

***Fully Flared*** · 05-07-2008, 06:38 PM

well, i didn't take them - but will redirect the comments towards my dad.

btw though the focus of the second wasn't really supposed to be on me, but i do understand.

the habitat skates amazing!
