Ankle is still broken but I found that shooting with a fish eye I can just sit and be comfortable. I really enjoy all these photos and would love to get better. C&C is very welcomed. Just let me know what you think I am very new to off camera lighting and thought I did an okay job today but was very comfortable with these!!

Thanks for the complement tattrat! I worked harder to get a more action shot and work on my lighting techniques.

I would recommend cloning out the flashes from the first 2 images and the fourth. The first shot is my favorite one.

They look cool, all I would say is get closer with that fisheye!

 

[ryanwaff]

Very nice! I think number 3 is the strongest! The first two would benefit from cropping your flash out of the image.

Good job with lighting. For me the first photo is the best one. It is very good you took the shot from the ground, it madei t ​​more impressive. By the others, I would try to improve composition, maybe find some interesting exterior - images could be more impressive. Fisheye is ideal for sport, especially for freestyle events. I really like it! But usually you have to be very very closed to get good shot ... and it could be a bit dangerous (I have some experiences with bmx ) Especially if you're sitting on the ground, moreover with a broken ankle... Be careful and good luck with other pictures! I am looking forward to your next outcome

Best regards,
Petra

Flash Stands in frame isnt something you wanna get used to doing, unless thats what you're going for. Thats my biggest challenge when shooting fish. also all of these are of the same angle, making them all basically the same photo. in the future pick your favorite one or two, and then try a few different angles to get variety. put yourself in the danger zone, where if you dont move youll get hit. Ive had several close calls but they make good photos.

This set is definitely better than your last. I like the lighting and the clouds make an awesome background for these.

I agree that when you take "normal" shots, it is better to avoid the flash stand in the frame . But if it well placed, it could makes some good effect. Moreover it is very diffuclt to avoid the flash stand in the frame

It's not difficult to clone out a stand at all. And sorry Petra, but that flash is ultra distracting to me. Pulls my eyes so hard.

Hi, it's ok, do not apologize. Everyone has "different tastes". We were looking for interesting street places, where we would take some industrial shots. Railway bridge with graffiti (means "quiet town") was the right one and this effect added place the right atmosphere.

Thanks for your feedback,

Leaving your light and lightstand in the frame is not an effect lol but if you like, you like it I guess.

It could be, if done right, and that was the desired outcome. Generally speaking, its something to be avoided. And cloning it out is cheating IMO. why not just take the photo right in the first place?

If cloning is cheating, then so is using strobes.
