Love the first shot can u maybe explain how u did that ?

I used 2 speedlights, 1 on the left over that blue rail and one on the right (you can see it in the picture) pointing on the scene
I love using 1 speedlight for lighting the floor and the scene, gives a dramatic look.
The lense was a 8mm samyang fisheye lense

Thanks for the comments people!

I love #3 and thanks very much for explaining the lighting. I was out a few days ago (DSLR in hand) and some of the skater kids asked if I would take some shots for them. Your explanation has given me the inspiration to go and shoot them again but with a very dramatic improvement in results I suspect.

I love taking pictures which require high shutter speeds and good reflexes (sports etc) so you may given me a new way to enjoy photography even more.

The left one (pointing on the skater) is a 580ex II and the one pointing on the scene is a 430ex II

Thanks for the comments!
