So me and a buddy were skating around downtown yesterday, just cruzing. Anyways, I grabbed my camera just incase we came across anything cool. Well we came to a parking lot and this dude was doing some crazy flatland biking, so I asked if he wanted some pics and started shooting.

Some of these are kinda cool. What do ya'll think? I feel like I need to edit them, but I don't have any ideas. Here are two out of about 20.

Do you mean something like this

or more seriously

Ah Flatland, my best trick I can do on my BMX is balancing a full Tesco bag on the bars, chatting on my phone and moaning about how dangerous the drivers are around here, (I knocked a cyclist of his bike with my car before Christmas, but he forgave me after kicking a dent in the door :oops:

).

Anyway, I like the first one as it is, the high buildings, the subject large in the foreground, composition and all that jazz.

I'm a pro

just wanted to do something quick. I use fireworks don't really have a clue what i'm doing on it though.

I'm not on the laptop so not sure which things i klicked for the second one, but yep just cropped it and fiddled a little.

I love how the first one is framed. I would maybe tweek the levels in photoshop to bring up the darks a little...

How difficult would it be to get rid of the telephone pole and wires?

by **tomcat360** » Wed Feb 21, 2007 3:01 pm

Yeah they are a little distracting, I'll look into it, I doubt I could pull that magic though :lol:

Im loving the 2nd 1 where the bike is in a sort of 'cross' with the building going down and the tarmac going across if that makes any sense???? But maybe in b&w.

Actually, no, it didnt :lol:

But, hey, its art - we're all supposed to get different things out of it :wink:

So wish I could do that properly..... :clap:
