So I have to say I have a new found love and it is for photographing skateboarding and generally people on a skateboard. I knew VERY little when I started about how to even begin to photograph such a high speed sport. There are rules and etiquette to follow naturally as there is with most things in life, but what may look good as a photographer, wont impress the skaters so I figured I best please them. I recently went along to the Steve Bayless Vert Session in St Neots. This yearly memorial event is set up in honour the awesome Steve Bayless and whilst it is a tragedy to lose anyone, it is truly beautiful to see so much being done in his honour.
Breaking out the new Fisheye lens to have a go…Its perfect for this type of work but I definitely need to practise more on getting at the sweet spot…photographer speak for the right place in focus for optimum effect.
