[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello my dearest TL friends! :)
Unfortunately these days (months) I don't have too much time to be part of the TL community which I regret much! Too busy doing different things beside photography!

To see I'm not disappeared forever :) here's another skate shot, remembering the hot summer! :) Yes, it's getting cold here :(

My friend is flying a Frontside Indy grab!

PP: nothing really,... a little boost on midtone contrast + frame!

njoi! :)

Excellent catch of moment, congratulations

Well, well, look who is making an appearance on TL. Very nice to see you ToM and nice to see one of your very good action skate shot. Nicely composed with a great sense of loosing your balance and you even got his shadow on the left. Very nice sky as well and colours. Well done!

Wow, look who is here. I thought you disappeared forever, so it came as a nice surprise to see one of your signature shots ... crazy stuff!

See ya,
Katya

Hi ToM,

Great action shot, captured and freeze him in the mid air!!! Not only the shot is great in details and sharpness but also captured great dramatic clouds at the back! Well done, hehehe... yeah I know... finally the summer decided to leave your place and come to ours... :P We'll enjoy Summer for a few months and then we will return it to you. :D

Cheers,
Sweety

It has been a while Tom!

You are constantly progressing. This pic proves it. I like his shadow on the very far ground.

Cheers!

Ben.

Uau! That a really nice shot... very very great. I just love the angle, colours, his expression...
Great Job!

Great POV, nice image, colours and sharpness.
Great timing - you make action photography look so easy.

There was an old hit from the 70' lol By Steppenwolf if i remember well. The kind of song who ride on time and could even sound well on that scene!
It's really a feeling of flying over the skate here :)
Look like waving to us :)

i guess the half-pipe is really a terrific
place for "inflight"-skating shots - too bad
"my" skater only does street-style...
perfect frozen action and a wonderful fish-eye view.
superb job &take care, thor.

another nice one.
I wonder how you have achieved the focus. Manual, I guess!?
The lens distortion is brilliantly used.

Hi Tom,
Fantastic capture with amazing composition. I like the fish-eye presentation, and angle of the horizon. Very well done!
