Photo Title: 

Skateboarder

Photographer: 

Randy Rovang

Location of Photograph:

San Diego, Boardwalk area of Mission Beach

What the photographer likes about the image: 

The guy is 'in-flight'. I love that the action is STOPPED. That is something that one could never really SEE. I also like that the background is very busy. Like the kid was doing this right in the middle of all this activity and he actually had quite an audience.

Techniques Used:

Just patiently watched the guy. When the moment was right, I snapped. I took care to try and take into consideration the delay between pushing the button and his ascendance into air.

Things to notice:  

The colors are just right; deep and true. Use of a fast shutter speed to freeze the action.
