Destroyer
A skater performs a skateboarding trick called a Pop Shuvit on the area surrounding the skate bowl at Empire Park at Bar Beach, New South Wales. I asked him would he mind doing some tricks so I could put them on the web – this is part of a two shot sequence from “pop” to getting airborne.
Here’s a tune that I used to love in the late 1990’s (I still like it now) that I’m pretty sure this Skater from Queensland would enjoy -
The shot was taken using a Canon 450D and a 55 – 250 mm lens and the border and the text were added to the original digital photograph using Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.
I became interested in Digital Photography when I got my first Digital Camera in 2004. Photography has grown into a real passion over the last few years as I have learned more and my skills have progressed. Buying a digital SLR in 2009 opened up a whole new world of Photographic possibilities that has substantially increased my interest and devotion to the craft.

Excellent timing James !!! ☺♥
Thank you! :)ox
I asked him would he mind doing some tricks so I could put them on the web. Surprisingly, I lost a lot of shots of this guy skating and just got a couple that I want to use.

Great capture James. Like the view too. :)x
Thank you Donna! :)♥ The top of that hill has amazing views of the beaches stretching to the south and it’s also a popular launch spot for hang-gliding.

Another nice action shot my friend. Well done.
Thanks Tom! I was having a rest from skating that day so I took photos instead – I tore the ligament on the side of my knee (mildly, not really seriously) 2 days before and I think it’s totally healed now.

I can understand your frustration.. but at least you’ve got a couple…☺♥
It wasn’t that bad because I don’t consider bagging every shot as crucial as I used to view it. There will always be other days and we aren’t wasting any film so it’s not that important, really. :)x

I love this shot James. Such concentration and what a moment to capture.
I’m glad you do, thanks Donna! He’s from Brisbane (about 10 hours North of here by car) and I’m not sure if I’ll get to give him the printout I made of this shot. He was skating solidly and getting some great height on his Ollie tricks.
