Cheers - 99% right place, right time and 1% seeing the opportunity and being prepared to hang about in the rain and get in position just in case the rainbow appeared

Love this, really creative composition. Patience required or luck with timing?

A little of both, there are plenty of people passing through in the early evening on a Friday so I managed to get a few shots of the same composition that I liked in about 15 mins.

Haven't posted for a while so thought I would post these.

I seem to spend half of my life at the moment at a new pump track near me with my 14 yr old who is getting so stylish.

We were there Monday and I chose his red top to stand out and with the moody sky these are the best pics I've taken here so far.

Just wow. I've been photographing action sports for 10 years plus and your photos always make me depressed!

Did you use off camera flash for these? Lighting on subject is spot on.

Thanks Kewy.

No OCF used for these, all natural light. A couple were a bit overexposed due to the changing light and waiting for my lad to do his stuff but i do spend more time processing these ones rather than my usual race ones.

Great shots there nessiemac! Very well taken and processed, enjoy them a lot.



My first crack (pun) at snapping lightning. Currently in Medellin Colombia. No tripod so camera was balanced on a stool/pillow/cooking pot (I've got all my excuses lined up!)









Tips certainly welcome for next time


Oh and for reference, this is the view from the day time -

The only tip I'd give is that if you post process in something like Lightroom, it's easy to 'correct' the wide angle distortion, so all the buildings will stand straight, not at strange angles.

I took this photo of a beggar in the Edinburgh Grassmarket in the mid 90's. It was amusing at the time. Looking at it now though, I really feel sorry for the guy and wish him well. Wherever he is.

Wow, thanks for sharing the originals. Actually helps mere mortals like myself feel a bit more confident about what's coming out of the camera. Just need to up my editing game a bit now!
