Okay I found a new (for me) pastime......SHOOTING SKATE BOARDERS...

Riding the rail.

Getting Air.

Balancing.

Board grab.

I have to figure out the focusing aspect ofthis extremely fast sport...but it is fun and has a few benefits.....girls

That third one I am liking alot.

However I know nothing about action/sport photography so I'm not going to attempt advice,,,,It would only be useless

The composition and light in the 3rd is what makes it soo good for me I think.

I can't give you advice either, but I will say that if I tried to do this, it would be my luck to capture an extremely gross/graphic moment of someone breaking or dislocating something. I've seen it happen so many times. *shudders*

The last shot is fun, though, it kept me looking.

I was always looking around for things to shot, but never thought of going to the local skateboard park. After seeing your pictures I know I will be hanging out there this summer to get some good pictures.

Thanks
