Jean-Marc Johannes, Switch 180 off Loading Dock, Cape Town, South Africaby Gerhard Engelbrecht
I prefer shooting skateboarding images once the ambient light has dropped to this level, Just before sunset or just before sunrise. Nice and soft sun light enhanced by flash to freeze the action.
Tech: Nikon D2Hs, 70-200 2.8 VR @ 75mm =112.5(x1.5) f16, 1/100th sec, ISO 200, Three flashes, 2x Vivitar 285HV & 1x SB-800 triggered via Pocketwizard radio slaves.
Thank You Bill. Here in South Africa the publishing politics with our local skateboarding media sometimes obstructs the good ones from seeing ink. This however does not deter me from getting out there and collaborating with athletes/artists like this guy to depict the adventures which is street skating. It’s always fun to find virgin photogenic locations like this. Blank canvases for the skateboarders and myself to express our selves.
