I really like this set - No. 1 just shades it for me.

Another great set.
The ones that particularly appeal to my eye are Nos 1 waiting till the figure was bang in the right place, 2 great use of a very flat grey sky, 5 leading lines, diagonal cutting through the horizontals, 9 for its quirkiness, 10 the light, the framing knocks it out the park.

I hope you get some of these printed.

Thank you for having a look and your comments. No.7 the last one, is where I actually started applying some technique. I was showing someone at camera club what I was up to and she started talking about Kim Boske and her method of moving around trees. And so I increased my number of exposures to probably about 20 shots in this last one and I moved around the tree by about 45 degrees or so, a rather stunning Ginkgo tree that stands next to our equally stunning Beech hedge.

Inspired by Bill Wards post with his beautiful in camera multiple autumnal exposures I decided to have a go. Mine are not presented so well and vary more in their end results but, I have been enjoying making them.
Please feel free to express your view, I'm pretty tough and can take it, both praise and damnation.

Cheers Gary and Derek. Derek I did talk to a couple of them when I first arrived and they didn't think anyone would mind me taking photographs. Once I'd started a couple of others came over and asked why I was photographing them out of curiosity rather than there being a problem. After a while a couple of others approached me and actually requested I photograph them, all very friendly, great to see so many youngsters enjoying the facility.

Excellent action shots those Nigel...i'd be delighted with them if they were mine.

Have to say though those skateparks look lethal to me...must keep the local A&E going!

Cheers Karlo. I'd have to agree about looking lethal, all that concrete and steel edging!

B+W suits them very well. It's difficult I guess with the background cutting through the subject, and I think b+w makes this less noticeable. 2; 4; and 7 are great but 9 is the fave for me.
Thank you Peter, I couldn't believe my luck when the lad in No.9 came up and asked me to photograph him and went straight into pose.

Cheers Stuart, there was a much friendlier vibe than I'd expected, I did wonder if some of them put in a bit of extra effort for the camera.

Such a shame Pentax can't capture action

Great little set, and yes the choice of B&W really does suit (IMO)
That's what's wrong with them! If only I had a Canikon!

Saturday afternoon I went to the local skate Park for a couple of hours. I'd never been before, what a great well used place. The youngsters were happy for me to snap away. The light wasn't great and when I got home and looked at the images I was struggling to see much good in my efforts to be truthful. Tuesday evening I had the thought about converting them to black and white. I think it has made all the difference, here's a little selection for any observations and comments you might have.

Love them all, stunning set. All I can think to say.
Which multi exposure setting did you use for these?
