Shooting skateboard, tips please!

[Nyberg]

hello!
I just got a deal with a skateboardpark that includes me to get into thier park and shoot the skaters during februari. I see this as an awesome oppertunity to learn to shoot fastmoving targets.

I was there yesterday but forgot my flash at home = stupid. Do you guys have and tips for future work?
Is it best to "arrange" their tricks and so on?
All tips would be helpful!

Cheers

You have to keep a lookout for Good tricks you gotta know a bit about skateboarding;
Grinds, Slides, Flips, etc.; Get Low And Get Dirty; also Fisheye is a must for this type of pics; I'll share some more in a few minutes!

Nice! And as fast shutterspeed as possible i guess. How about focus. Manual or auto?

[Munky]

Update the quote takes less space! lol

The Focus depends on the trick; is you stay static on someones 'try' on the same trick you should set to Manual; it quicker; but if you are randomly shooting Auto FTW!

People will take you a little more seriously if you spell correctly and use proper syntax.

I will not argue that at all, and I wasn't even referring to you however he made simple spelling mistakes and I wasn't trying to be a jerk by correcting him. You're right by the way, I am a monolingual American, however I love my Swedish heritage and want to learn the language!

Understood, I don't mean to rip on someone speaking a 2nd language. To be honest I didn't even bother to look at either of your locations.
You're both doing pretty good considering!
