looks really good in the black and white and nice quality and angles but ur friend dint land that noseslide and it wasnt even a noseslide that would be a nose stall.

[lilbrad123]

Trust me it was a noseslide...I took it a bit too late though.

[Kevo]

The angles on the second and third were really bad. The cat shouldn't have been in black and white. it took me too long to find the cat.

[EmericaSktr51]

you should make the pics in color

[lilbrad123]

I have a film camera, so i just scanned the pics on and cropped a bit.


I USED BLACK AND WHITE FILM!!!

i really don't know why but the picture of the cat made me laugh

you're a dumbshit. go to the filmers forum if you want to critisize about what people call tricks, then you can at least back it up. faggot.

dude, the 2 and 3 had really bad angles, i'd try it about 45 degrees behind him, and see how it turns out.

[Bob Dole Wears Circas]

Two and Three need an angle overhaul.
The black and white photos turned out nice though.
And the cat wasn't that hard to find. He is near the center :P

Oh and by the way, you are a dipshit. How are you going to show a noseslide if it isn't even in the middle of the noseslide. If the guy was just standing there well shit it wouldn't look like he did it at all.

[rock-adio]

I hate all the angles.

[skateinthestreets]

on the ledge the guy is nose sliding it look like some one put metal on it so its easyer to grind

[Varial_360]

ur pretty good at photography...keep it up

Obviously, you aren't a professional photographer, but taking shots like these will get you to where you want to be.

Try new perspectives. A NUMBER of them. So when it comes down to looking at them on your computer; you can choose what you like best. But I think you said something about film and if this is a film shoot; I can see why you only took a few. It can get costly.

Also, be aware of your surroundings. Take a look into your camera and look at what you're ABOUT to shoot. Check if there is any trash on the ground, bikes in the backgrounds, or just random objects that don't need to be in there and remove them. It'll improve your picture ALOT. It's true that objects can enhance the excitement of the pictures, but only if they are used right.

Do you have any photo editing programs? Or just MSPaint? If you do, try cropping them a bit. Get rid of unnecessary parts of the image.

While the perspective could have been alot better on the second image, cropping the image made it alot better (in my eyes).

Here is an example of what a crop can do to an image;

Before:

After:

Not a signicant difference, but it looks alot better.

Keep on snappin' away. Best of luck on your next pictures man.

i liked it before the crop, now hes to far to the side. the picture seems unbalanced

[Chris Suyeda]

There is too much going on in the unedited picture. If you look at it, your eyes wander. "Hey, what's that on the ground?" "Look that sign is crooked." "What's that in the ground?"

But then again, I guess that's why there are so many photographers in this business. Different people like different things. I just didn't like all the clutter and all that emptiness that didn't really contribute to the picture.

[skater_cop]

There good but the 2 and 3 do need better angles.

And yeah the cat one was harder to find...I looked in the bushes or whatever first..and you can barely see him.
It looks more like a scenery pic.

But nice pictures though.

yeah it should be cropped, but leave a bit more of the right side in and take a little from the left. the outline also helps enormously

[mikkeypuf]

I'm not sure wolfgang, I am pretty sure pictures generally look better when the main object is not directly in the center. off to the side it captures more attention somehow. I liked it after tha crop.

Change your angles. You really have to explore what you can do with a camera, most obviouse angles that are supposed to look good dont. You really need to get creative with your angles instead of taking plain ones.

[James_ns]

interesting

[d-ville skater]

they were pretty good, just try some better angles and more difficult tricks
