I went and shot a local skater Jesse Belrose last night at the Kenwick Building in Sarnia. I have seen the feature before, but I never thought to shoot it, until I came up with an idea to shoot it fisheye from the bottom of the set. I also didn't know if Jesse would be down to try this again just because he has been hurt a few times on it.
It was an akward spot to light up, the lighting underneath the building was real orange so I had to mess around with my white balance quite a bit just to see what one looked the best. also i changed the lighting with my flashes quite a bit of times before the end result just by moving them around through trial and error, but I had a good idea of where to put them already just knowing what it looked like before i went.
He tried this a few times, the first few times he went he just plain ollied over the rail, which was still incredible in a photo. He hadnt stomped it yet and everyone was ready to leave, and he just asked them to stay for one more try at it. He then went and did a melon grab over it and stomped it and rode away clean. The end result is really good considering it was my only shot at the melon grab.
