Rhys at Millenium
September 8th, 2009
Millenium skate park is an interesting place. Normally crawling with skate kids, one 5 year old on a razor scooter, a couple guys riding 7+ inch downhill bikes, and a bunch of people up to no good. If you decide to go earlier in the morning or later at night you meet transients who call the obscenely oversized half pipe and full pipe their home. The oversized ‘expert’ area is also an interesting place, undoubtably the most expensive part to be build and least used, also notable the 30′ full pipe is obviously too large to be ridden all the way around.
Rhys and myself decided to head out and brave the park and it’s inhabitants to get some shots before he headed out to teach MTB at WinSport.
would love to see more of these?
Due to the time we had to work we spend the majority of the time tweaking this shot to nail it. because of the angle and fisheye lens it was really difficult getting a shot where his whole face wouldn’t be covered by his right arm, so it warranted many ‘close, but go again’ -s
I really like this shot; the wide angle effect, the sky, the blue color, the placement of the biker and how the bridge frames the subject!! Good job. Maybe the light in the bottom right corner is a bit distracting.
