Stamford Sk8R Boi

Latest on Devon’s list of 1,001 Things To Do Before Bedtime is skateboarding. I think he may actually stick with this one…

Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20mm EX lens at 10mm, 1/60 sec at f6.3, ISO 200, hand held with Nikon SB-800 flash. Converted to mono in Lightroom 1.2, this was one of the few shots I got on this particular night where I didn’t blow all the highlights out on his white shirt, and still kept some detail in the stormy sky behind him. It’s not easy to bounce flash off a night sky…

Look hard and you’ll see my feet. Devon was trying one of his new skills, my shins were his launch pad. It’s the sort of shot you can only get with an extreme wide angle lens (or if you have very, very long legs).
