Evening Session

I went out with Jeff and Charlie from the last session but without the huge contingent of filmers. We hit up Hoover High and it was way more relaxed. Jeff and Charlie actually landed tricks this time, which was nice.

Pretty much the same lighting set up from the previous night session.


Charlie. Backside Smith.


Jeff. Frontside Boardslide, kickflip out.

Night Sesh!

I went out and took some photos at a night skate session with some people from work. They were filming with some other guys that really don't know skateboarding...at all. Or at least what all is involved in a skate vid. It got annoying after awhile.

The session was killed by various reasons, sprinklers being the straw that broke the camel's back. Nobody landed anything so the session was a wash.

I strobed the stair set with two flashes on pocketwizards. It was difficult with so many people skating and trying different tricks. It was set up for basically one angle. More strobes on different channels would be sweet. You could have one set for one side, and another set on a different transmitter channel for the other.

Here are some outtakes. Keep in mind, nothing was landed.
