Managed to catch this lad on his board earlier today....

2 and 3 same pic, slight crop difference and colours.









Got this guy doing some urban mountain biking too! Burnt out the exposure on the sky in error so tried to turn it hikey to salvage the shot. Does it work? You tell me!





Really starting to have some fun with CS2!!!

Peter.

Yeah Shot 5 is pretty cool. You have the same problem I had on the vw shot on number 6. You can see where the photoshop blur has been added to create motion. Nice work though

I like the 1st one but the second one looks oversaturated to me. Just a little bit too green for me in the t-shirt department.

Steve, noted however I think that was my intention.

Dunno about that. I like these skate kids as they have great persona, style, and are individuals and remind me of my youth, in wanting to be me - blimey I had hair right down to my waist till I was 23! Curly too and the ladies loved it

Giveme a skate kid over a chav anyday of the week.

Pete.

Nice shots Pete although I am as keen on the mountain bike ones as the skate kid ones.

Can see what you mean with the emphasis on the colours with the skater although I think I would have gone with trying to ramp up the clothes whilst trying to keep the faces / arms tones away from the red/orange side and so more natural although maybe that was his natural colour .

Keep it up mate.
