BMX Silhouette

BMX No-Hander Silhouette.

Canon 600D

ISO 800
F11.0
1/1250s
10 - 20mm lens

While i was taking photos at the skate park I got a photo wrongly exposed that gave an almost silhouette effect. After that I decided I wanted to replicate that properly. This is one of the planned silhouettes and the better one I think. Its the clouds and little bit of sunset that got me. And considering the slower frame rate on the 600D the timing was great any earlier or later the back wheel may have been touching the trees and this shot would not have been the same!

Backflip

Breakdancer Kool Keith Backflip.


Canon 600D
ISO800
f4.5
1/500s
Focal Length 11mm

This is a wide-angle shot that I have cropped. This is the first photo where I have done some serious post production. I used Adobe Lightroom 4! The photo has a much more dramatic effect now, and I darkened the bystanders who were wearing quite bright colours, taking away from the breakdancer. I reminds me of a Nike ad, but that might just be his shoes...

f5.0
1/1250s
Focal Length 105mm

This was taken at the Australian Open in 2012. I only had my 28-105mm lens and they actually checked the focal length of my lens before letting me into the event. Which I did not even consider as a possibility but luck was on my side.
