Skater - Must See

[Ted Szukalski]

There is a group of young people who do skate boarding at Martin Place. I have to state that personally I consider this extremely dangerous as they perform some jumps where the landing space is so narrow the chance of successful completion of the jump without injury or a fall is very minimal. I don’t think they share my view on danger in this case. Here is one of these brave skaters (http://www.digital-photo.com.au/v/People/Street+Photography/Skater-IMG_7647.jpg.html) performing a very spectacular jump.

Nice use of the flash. I've shot some skate boarding and it's tougher than it looks to get good exposures and good framing.

Thank you. And yes, it is not easy at all. I took close to 10 photos of this kid and only this one came out that well. The light there is quite tricky as you can see on very brightly lid wall. I've used graduated ND filter in post processing to equalise the exposure
