[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Dropping into a half-pipe is the first milestone for a vert skater! It's hard to persuade yourself to lean onto the vert wall and roll away! :)
I've tried to catch the last moment before my friend's board was taking off from the coping! :)

PP: Since the pic was made around noon the Sun was up high and giving really high contrasts!
I used again a brownish colour and a little sharpen. It was all I did in the PP! :)

Enjoi!

Superb action shot, Tom! Great composition with two diagonals (the clouds and the pipe), creating a very dynamic image. Excellent PP work! A real beauty!

very cool POV tom :)

Hi Tom,
Great action shot with an awesome POV. I like the contrast and the sun in this photo. Well done.

A little more, I like the sky and the tone, Brabo Tom !

Wow Tom!! It is great, really! Hey, they should hire you as a sports (skate) reporter for some fancy magazine ;D
I love the dynamics, just like in the previous shot! the contrasts adds up to it even more!

Great composition.
MAtej

Szia ToM,
got some delay sorry :o)
another excellent shot.
i like very much the high contrasts and the mood of this shot. we feel almost the intensity of the moment though we can see his face.
a really nice shot with the usual nice and effective PP :o)
TFS

Tom, it's absolutely stunning!! I like it much more than the previous shot ("Zero Gravity"), the sun gives it a better contrast and the POV superb.

F A N T A S T I C!!!

Cheers,

Shelly:))

PS you should sell these action photos of yours to some magazine - they're brilliant!!

Hi ToM,

I love this effect, and you mixed a very nice tone of the brown. Also the compo is excellent, the perspective is fab. I like the airplain left drawings on the sky and the mild clouds. Congrats!

Hi Tom :)
Amazing photo , perfect colour , super action , for me GREAT :)

My son is also a skater. He will like this. I also like this picture. I like the pov and the two tone colour. Good job and tfs.

Don

Wonderful shot Tom,

you've captured the moment perfectly the vert ramp isnt something to be taken lightly and It took me a good year or so to build up the courage to finally drop in

hope to see some more extreme sports shots from you soon

regards Kruger

Terrific shot ToM should be in a magazine. Great use of sepia too, (one of my favourite tones).

Peter

hi Tom! its been a long time i've dropped by!
this photo is all about the adrenaline. it may not be in the middle of a 180 or 360.... but at the starting point, gave us a different set of action!

More skate photos!

A masterpiece Tom! The point of view is wonderful

Wonderful POV, I really like the tone you chose for this image, looks great! Very intense and gives you that... "Whats gonna' happen next?" feeling.

Biance

Hi Tom,
Another great vert photo...This is one thing I would not do as I am a street skater :D I like the sepia and the scattered clouds.
Well Done!!!!!!

Erim

Hi Tom, superb picture. I like it very much because the picture has very good light, composition and detail. I like skaters very much because my brother is and I like their style.

Happy New Year 2007

Lenka

cool, you were on time !
Light is beautiful and the point of view too.
Sharp shadows and great contrast. All is there ! ;)
