Default Sk8ter Boi

Again criticism and comments are welcome.





I took these shots at a local park around my way.
I didn't know the gentlemen that I took shots of. They were just skating around a certain area and I decided to go up to them and ask them if I could take a couple shots of them.

****This is the most probably the important part about this project.****
I went up to someone randomly and asked them to take shots.

They were nice enough to allow me to do it and I started snapping away.

Now for the technical stuff:

- I shot with my 28 - 135mm lens as that it was night time and I wanted minimal unintentional blur as possible. Aperture was set at f5.6, the on board flash was used, shutter was set to 1/20 and ISO was at 100.

- As they were coming into the frame I panned to the right to keep them in frame as to not allow complete ghosting.

- No cropping was done as that I figured I wanted to use brushes to accentuate the shots but some color and curve adjustments were made..

- I got the extra photoshop brushes that were used at this webste: Brusheezy
I downloaded mostly grunge brushes.

- With whatever brushes I used made sure the colors were complimentary.
It was done randomly (or what I was feeling at the time) to keep the composition chaotic.

- I increased the canvas size to make a frame and added more brushes to that.


Again criticism is fine. Anyway I could have improved on this?
Thanks in advance guys.
