Long(ish) time lurker and only recently decided to join (mainly cos half my week is spent at work on a forum), but thought I would.
Now I’m a terrible skateboarder, more so now than ever , but did get back into photography a year or so back, which eventually brought me right back to skateboarding (much needed relief from work life)
So I thought a pop a thread up saying hello, and share a photo or so that I’ve taken whenever I remember to.
First up is local lad Dan, went on a street mission on Sunday got one photo then rain came aha
Hard one to shoot, that - being dead on means the ledge looks super short, but then fisheye would give you an arse shot.
I think fisheye would be the one, though…
No idea if there is another thread. I had a quick search and couldnt see one…
I’d like to see a ‘submit your skate photos to the forum critics’ type thread, there’s plenty of knowledgeable people here to give that kind of feedback. Something that falls between gnarly and personal.
OP, Dan looks like he’s enjoying it - shame you lost that light.
Welcome. I forget lurkers are a thing and feel like I’ve been caught walking around the house in my boxers, hair unbrushed with food spilt down my chest, when one comes out of the wood work.
@london yeah not the best one as there is a fence directly next to me, to far over and it’s in shot/lose some of the arm. May just move further back next time and crop in, or make use of the fisheye and try not to get slapped in the face with a board.
@buildafire should or could? Happy either way though honestly.
@nut would love to have a topic like that tbf, or this can become it? Nay bothered really.
Was a fun looking spot, and the lighting was great until rain came (having f2.8 on a lens helps I will admit)
@voodoo don’t change on my account, think that’s how I’ve been majority of lock down haha, thanks for the welcome
Is there anything wrong with individual threads for actual skate content? There aren’t that many threads. Maybe it would encourage more of this cool stuff, otherwise we’ll all be stuck in the trouser/cooking/gardening/news threads like a bunch of old farts. I get having a single selling stuff thread as it would be full of spam otherwise, but I’d quite like to see more contributions like this.
I’d actually prefer individual topics for videos, mags, etc. I feel like some stuff is pretty limited in discussion partly because unless you are checking constantly, those “constantly updated” threads are actually hard to get into.
Its nice to have a start and an end to a conversation…
