Black and White Skate Photo

What do you think?

 

[TBaraki]

I like it. That little chunk of sky really adds drama. The processing as a whole is really well done.

Very cool shot! Did he land it?

 

[Johno]

Brilliant mood in this one! Feels very urban, A+++ What was your technique for the conversion?

It's a little tight around the top, but I dig the action and really like the processing :thumbup:

 

[Rabieshund]

Really good! How did you get the sky so perfectly exposed? HDR?

Nope. A little rule I have for myself and skate photography is that I expose to get a nice detailed sky then I use several off-camera flashes to expose the skater and the obstacle.

Aaah, I see! Smart! It gives a great result. What flash do you use?

Two Nikon SB-600's and a Vivi 16a. I'm working on getting another SB-600 and some Pocket Wizards, right now I'm using sync cords.

I like very many. The tonality and the photographed reason it seems to me excellent.

Thanks everyone for the comments, this is probably one of my favorite skateboard photos I've taken.
