Description
Had a really hard time deciding what category this goes under. Was a toss up between Transport and Abstract.I say abstract because personally I think it looks like I'm standing (not moving) on a surface of brushed aluminium *shrugs*. Was another photo of my experiments with red filtering and vignetting. Probably not the best time to take the photo (1:45pm) because I could have avoided the harsh exposure on the shoe laces, but the bus went flying past me and I had to pee real bad so I was skating home from class and took a snap. I also put in slight Cyan/Blue toning because straight B&W looked too "comfortable", if that makes sense to anyone?
Also, don't really understand the title myself, it just seemed to fit
Any criticism regarding lighting conditions, filtering and vignetting, please feel free to rant away!

i think the contrast and lighting works very well for this pic. very well done. im in a photography class right now and i never would have though about actually being on a moving object while taking a picture to get the panning effect. very original, two thumbs up

i actually think the lighting on the shoe is nice. it catches your eye because it contrasts from the rest of the picture. i dunno. maybe im insane.
anyways, i question the saftey of taking a picture while skateboarding. haha.
nice shot.

few people saying that about the lighting so maybe i'm the one with the weird eyes. and yeah it was scary cuz the road was reeeeeal small and the hill was short but reeeeeeal steep.

Good photo...I've got nothing to say about the filtering and the lighting...I think it all ties into together..and the contrast is lovely.

"Scratch" reminds me of the sound of the wheels on the pavement....

That's so true. Do you have hightops or the normal ones...?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
normal ones.... high tops probably the ebst for skating, but the fashion around here is low... you can just wear a lot more stuff with lows i guess

I like the kind of message the picture gives out.. Well in my case anyways, I felt sort of out-of-breath.. like I was trying to get somewhere as fast as I could before it was too late..
Okay that was lame. Anyways, the color contrasting came out really cool. Good job!

lol nonono... I think when I reshoot it, it'll be a lot better in terms of smoothness and detail. That's the plan anyway. I'm looking at this one as more of an experiment now haha.
Besides, admins hate me because I'm a trouble maker and call them names
