When I first saw this thread I thought that it would be funny put some skateshots into it...I found the time to open the thread only now, andhere are mostly skateshots...

I have a lot of them, many are RF related..

Cool spot that in vancouver..my knees disagree.. :bang:

wow, I completely missed the w/nw forum, and all these shots! The lighting on Sockeyed 's cricket photo is gorgeous, and Honus' footballers are too cute (shooting diagonal was a nice choice, too).

And I love all the skate shots. The Vancouver spot does look great, and I like that flickr image that doesn't look like it's even a skatepark. Gabriel, what kind of lighting did you have set up on the noseslide?

I have some more skate shots to contribute, and hopefully next week I'll have new ones.

First two are shot with a Rapid Omega 200 and 60mm Hexanon, the last with Canon 7s and CV35/2.5 pancake.
