Jamail skate park

[Artichoke]

on a weekend photography jaunt, I stumbled across this newly opened skate board park
the longest lens I had was my 75 Summilux, so I had to return the next day with a 135 Elmarit mounted on the Viso which was used for the last photograph offered here
all taken with the M8

an existential BW

the whole frame tells a story, sort of

getting a bit closer to the action with the 135

ironically (or perhaps cynically) this park was donated by a well known local personal injury lawyer ...the kids love it

larger versions of these can be found here Houston Photo Gallery by Artichoke Vinagrette at pbase.com along with shooting information & some others from this venue

hope you like

Arthur -

Excellent series, perfect moments, lovely light, detail and color.

I was surprised at the number of sharply focused shots I got from these shoots
setting a pre-focus point has many advantages and being able to see subjects before they enter the frame are considerable advantages for action photography with an M
having enough light to stop down helps as well
