skateboarding

I have found a new thing to photograph that I just adore...skateboarding! Not only did I get to build a new website for someone who skates, but I got to head over to SkateBarn West in Renton and try my hand at photographing indoor sports. I learned quite a few things on this trip:

• I love photographing skateboarders!
• I adore the shadows created by the odd structures and the selective lighting.
• I really need to invest in faster glass.

I have a Canon 50mm/1.4 which is my favorite lens, sadly it's broken and I need to send it back to Canon for repair. It would have been far superior to what I used. But as in all photographic situations, I don't cry over the lens I'm missing, I try to make the best photos I can with what I have. These are a couple of the ones I liked. They are grainy like crazy (oh, how I love grainy photos!). I also decided to play with Photoshop on these. Though I have to be honest, this was just me goofing off.
