Catchin' some air

[toyvlle]

Well here I sit at a dog show, and to my surprise and delight there is a skate board park here also, so, here are some shots of some kids that were totally fabulous at what they do,
catchin' air. And these young men were more than happy to have their pictures taken.
I wish they were a bit sharper, but practice makes perfect, right ???

and another biker,

Hi Mom~ Wow! I know you have been wanting to get some of these types of shots and you NAILED them! These are fantastic! Great timing to get them right mid jump! They look pretty sharp to me!
#1, #2 and #4 have such great air! #3 took me a minute to see he was in the air as well. The background is right level with his back tire so if you just glance at it looks like he is getting ready to leap. But after a better look I see he has already Ieapt. That little kid looks like he has no fear and such concentration on his face.
Good luck this weekend at the show!
I'm not just being nice cause your my Mom and all I do really think these are great! Love ya!

Thank you all so much for all of your kind comments, they mean a lot to me. I love photography, and am
trying to learn, and I love to try to capture almost anything moving, it is all always so challenging and
such fun. To have captured these moments in time are always the best reward. This is such a great
forum, filled with such talented people, I couldn't have found a better place to try to learn and improve.
Thank you all.
