And my personal favourite....




More to follow...

last photo is a babe, but why vert?

lots of black round the outsides. preferred it portrait.

re-shoot on horizontal, and back a bit, for me? please?

no, come shoot it yourself.

couldn't get any further back. ruddy great wall behind me.

different angle? maybe get a bit looser? it all seems so damn tight at the moment

DON'T WASTE THEM!

Nice photo's Claire

I always used to be like that.
Then I discovered horizontal comps.
They changed my life.


You're zoomed on that shot though, yes?
What lens did you use?

a round one.

seriously guys, i'm just shooting for fun. I don't want to get all technical.

trix, if i can be honest. i don't really like your long lense shots. so please don't force your techniques onto me.

love you

And what do you think we shoot for?
Lighting and exposure is nice on the last shot though. But all Trix was trying to do was help with comp and shit.

I know, i know.

Constructive criticism and all that.

But still... I like my shots. I like being close up. I like having the skater in the middle of the shot.

.. and i'm damn proud of the ones i've posted up. Just wanted to share my proudness with you all.

FISHEYE!!!
But yeah don't get me wrong, your lighting looks nice nearly all the time.

haha some of those pics are actually taken with a fisheye, but i'm so shit at it.

today was the first day i'd ever used a fisheye on my own, so yeah, those might be a bit crap.

cropped out vig?

Nope

what fisheye were you using? none of the shots look very fishy

The only fisheye shots are the ones on the bank and the ollie.

I was using pip's fisheye. 10mm-20mm i think.

Rad pics!

Where's that brick bank?

And I can't belive no one's asked about the stickers!

Euston banks.

... but the people that turned up to the last london meet would know that..

It was a 10mm?
Were you fully wide on it?

Yeah, why?

Am i missing something?

It doesn't look "very fishy" as trix says, like a 10mm.
Did you crop the shots?

the ollie certainly isn't cropped.

I can't see the pics right now, as flickr is blocked at work, but one of the bank shots is cropped.

One with a shadow in the bottom right corner? That shadow was much bigger, but that was the only crop. just cutting out the shadow.

the shots well fishy! mikey is in it!!

the lense is a 10-20 asperical fisheye, so it is corrected and doesnt have the "shitty round effect" that ruins photos, i played with the new 4.5mm lense and its as dramatically pointless as the 8.5mm, its not 1992 anymore so sticking the widest lense under a crook grind is more than passe' - the super fish/death lense culture is over kids.

i think the shots are good, and considering they arent photoshopped to hell like 90% of the photos i see on here i think its good work all round!

claire come shoot me!

Them is some pretty good photo's there Claire.
I bone the last one.

You and Mikey; come skate Romford sometime!

Yeah, it's hardly like I'm saying it's all about fisheyes, cause I prefer longlens over fisheye shots any day, I'm just saying it didn't look that wide.
And yeah Claire the bank shot was the one I was talking about being cropped.

Wait, did I only put up one bank shot?

What a plank.

Nooo you didnt but the one you talked about was the one I meant if you cropped

... suuuure.

pip, there's nothing wrong with using photoshop, it's just like using a darkroom.

I'm in love with this picture, it should be on the main page

Loveley stuff. Liking the colours.

Cheers guys

I really really like them
The heelflip indy and the last one are da bommmmbbb ....s.

who said there is anything wrong with using photoshop? but when a photo isnt distorted to look better, I think it pays a bigger compliment to the photographer, these are "raw" shots, so im sure we could all make them even better by playing with the exposure or stretching the shot to make things look bigger/harder/cooler. but credit where credits due y'know.

I use photoshop all the time, I have to I only shoot RAW, but i never creat a new essence to a shot.

I like all of them, but number 3 is slightly disturbing

Liked the second last grind one most.

Tasty Stuff
nice colours.

haha, that's why we took that pic.

Strategically placed sticker. We tried a kickflip, but i just couldn't catch it, so we tried a heelflip (results above) then Mikey suggested the indy.

Fookin' stoked.

cool pic's.

klast one was my favorite aswell

Awesome you put them up! Dude that was such an awesome day, these pictures turned out really well. Patrick and Trix stop your flaming! Haven't had a chance to edit the Raw files as I'm at my lady's at the moment. I think my favourites was the Euston bank sticker sesh one and the ollie over the driveway Hey Fozzz you defiantly should put that picture on the front! Will post up some editz on here when i've had the time.

Bluuuuuuuuuuuunt..

Where's that?

cantelowes

i like that photo claire.

Flaming?

giving advice on how to make the comp stronger is not flaming.

stronger to your specifications, man.

I appreciate that you've been taking pics longer than me, but every photographer has a different style.

I don't think my pics are too bad to be honest. They're a lot better than they used to be.

just keep shooting.

We aren't flaming.

YES.

*bump*
