Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
Having recently started skating (again) with the intention of getting relatively good I thought it would be fun to begin combining photography with a new hobby.

With some of my skateboarding interests being with its development through the 80s, including the amazing style, I thought it would be fun to link my own development with the roots of skateboarding!

I wanted the cheesy look of a lot of 80s photos, techniques that appear cheesy and silly in Today's World.

I popped a flash with a long shutter to get some of the movement while keeping the shoes sharp-ish. I zoomed the flash into 105mm to get an even smaller spread of flash than I would usually with the fisheye. I was originally going to correct the conflicting white balances but ended up liking it!

It wasn't a huge project but comments would be appreciated!

I do get an 80s vibe from this. You should try to find an old school plastic board and reshoot. Looks like a fun experiment. The end result is pretty cool too :)
