Sam Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Some photography I've done whilst longboarding with my friends (shall add to this topic); Most of these shots I've used flash, it just looks more dynamic. Shutter speed is 200, ISO is 200 too - f/5.0 As you can see I've been trying to get the basics of panning. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bows Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 LOVE the second and third pictures.My feelings exactly. great work Sam. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Love the dynamism in the 4th picture, it really looks quite good. The second ones focus really pisses me off. Not that I dislike out of focus foregrounds, I just dislike it when half the photo is composed of it. The flash on 5 also annoys me, the lighting seems flat and harsh.

Da_Latios Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I, on the contrary, believe 2 and 3 are the worst of the lot. In fact, the only picture that comes close to not being bad is the fourth one.I'm sure you had a lot of time on your hands, so coming up with something creative shouldn't have been too hard. This isn't my picture; it's just one that I found is a good example. First image: Motion blur, lens distortion on subject, subject cut off frame.Second image: It's just plain boring. What are you trying to convey?Third image: Again, simply boring. It's a wheel, big deal.Fourth image: You were using a flash and yet managed to get the sky's highlights blown? You need to shoot RAW.Fifth image: Apart from seeing the edges of the flash, it's shot at a horrible angle. Also the subject isn't doing anything "interesting".

Shiny Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I don't think the 4th image was flashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I have to agree with Latios, I'm not a big fan of them save for maybe the fourth one. There's not a whole lot going on in any of them which is pretty important for these sort of action shots. Also I'm a firm believer in no helmets for skateboarding/longboarding. >_> Hell if I ever wore a helmet when I used to skateboard :P. But back on topic the 4th one is actually pretty good save for the sky. If you compare it and the 1st image the 4th just has a way better composition. To be honest the 1st looks more like a quick snapshot :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Some are OK, I don't find two to be that bad, but three annoys me. It's just so static and the composition is lacking. It's not interesting to look at because there is nothing happening in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skully Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I like the wheel, the guy in the helmet looks funny though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Using a technique where I fire the 'bulb' and do a couple of seconds of panning, makes quite a cool effect although I think it needs a tripod to work well. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptical Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 That's a pretty cool effect. "Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security."

Shiny Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Only good one: The rest really seem like tacky tourist snapshots, not meaning o be offensive or anything. You used the slow sync flash technique, am I right? To be honest, what annoys me is the focus and the lights in a lot of them. I feel as if the light is extremely distracting, and draws away from the photos impact. In the aforementioned photo, it works well however, creating a sense of dynamism, which the other photos lack. The other photos look tacky in comparison. Just my two cents :unsure: http://www.digital-photography-school.com/slow-sync-flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
