Had an epic seshion today. Kept getting thrown out of most of the spots though.



Jonny - Tailslide



Jonny - Noseslide



Paddy - Tailslide



Paddy - St Annes 6 ollie



Paddy - Boardslide



Jonny - FS smith



Paddy - Darkslide (didnt land)

Have a couple more but i cant be bothered to upload them

Comp's a bit loose on all of them, and they're a bit too centred.
Also, bad angle for the front smith.

really? I thought it wasn't too bad, although I would of prefered to see it take from the along the rail.

Ass shot?
Not a fan.
Then again, I suppose he couldn't have shot it on the road.

Also, the one you called a noseslide is a BS crook

For the smith, Jonny wanted it from that angle, i would've prefered it from where the red car is.

fuck where they want it shot from. you're the one pressing the shutter. shoot from where you want.

I love jonny, but he doesn't know shit about skate photos.

Did you take these as snapshots or were they properly planned?

Honestly the exposure and everything is fine, just the comp could be more attractive.

Hate to jump on the bandwagon and sound too critical but these shots aren't much special. Just feel a little more imagination could have been used with the angle of view.

Also, why is the darkslide one in black and white? Makes it look dull, i always find black and white is a lot better if it's film. Digital black and white doesn't bring out the tones as much.

digi black and white can look good, you've just gotta tweak the levels. but yeah, film black and white is the dogs bollocks.





ilford HP5 bitch

Why does everyone on SkateUK think everything is a bandwagon?

Also Trix.. Ilford HP5 bitch.
Also Oz... Auto Exposure mode.

First time i've heard it on here in ages?

Oh noes what are we going to do!? Auto exposure!?

Sorry Ditto I take back what I said earlier, these are fucking awful and you're vastly inferior to full manual photographers.

fo'real?

Snapshots pretty much



And i was shooting on manual

And Greg, i thought it just looked better in B+W

You were shooting manual? Thank God, I take back what I said earlier, you're a top man.

Oz, don't be such a fucking sarcastic little shit.
I was just saying that because the "exposure and everything is fine" it could/may have been shot in auto mode.

Jesus.

Hahaha take it easy man, I'm just jerkin' your chain.
To be fair though:



implies you were saying it was shot on auto, no mention of could or maybe.

Some more from yesterday.

Smith from differentt angle



Pete Kelly



Pete Again

Ive a few still to put up so ill edit them into here

sequence made me laugh, dunno why just did. liking the shots. i say nose slide is the best

Last one's the best.
Where actually is that?
What's it near?

Keep meaning to go skate Belfast.

Its quite hard to describe where it is;

If your looking straight at City Hall with the Big Wheel on the left, go along the right side of City Hall where the bus stops are, youll come round to the back of city hall and the road in front of you will be a cross road go straight on and its about 150-200 meters up the road on your right

Or in simplier terms, if youre looking at city hall, right, left, go straight past crossroads and up about 200 meters on the right

those ollies are stinking, tell the skater to get some style. also, post a new thread.

Oh okay cool, so it's not that far from the main part of Belfast.
Sick, gonna check it out some time soon.

also Trix, Jonny does have awesome ollies, timing on the pics is just off.
Look:

double post

Better view of how to get into it + Paddy

flash to the front of him, light up that pretty face.

First of all, you've seen that shot before, ages ago.
Second of all, I only had one flash back then

Think this is the last one



I love how pete tre flips

Timing of the shot looks more like a hardflip.
shoot just before the catch, or on the catch.

ass in that shot, stoked.



convince my rim.
