Skate Trip in Chicago

Here are some pictures I took as the photographer for my local skateshop, Get Wet, based out of Fort Wayne, IN.

And here is a link to the full set... Get Wet Chicago Trip - a set on Flickr

I really like the first one, however the trash can keeps drawing my attention away from the skater for some reason.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. I'm thinking I might try to burn it a little bit and make it a bit duller.

The lighting for the crook is sick dude!
What type of flash you got?

 

[ryansarmstrong]

Thanks a lot! I was shooting with a Sigma EF-500 DG Super on the left corner of the ledge that is cut off.

Unique idea for a photo shoot with Chicago as the backdrop. Some great pics.

Great lighting on the first shot...it adds a lot to the image.

Thank you! We're hoping to do another trip soon.

The last one is so cool !

the pics are good however there is a lot distracting the picture in the background of the shots. 2nd one is my pick for the best, the 4th is too dark imo. nice set tho

i like the 2nd one, the 4th one is cool because of his shadow. i dont like the group shot, seems out of focus, the car is distracting and i dont like the lighting.
