Skateboarder Balboa Park

While I was in Balboa Park photographing a few of the Pear Trees in bloom I couldn’t resist shooting this skateboarder doing a 360 flip at the fountain (yes he landed it).

Snowboarding Photo Shoot

Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted.
I’ve been really busy and have a lot of different shoots to post, so stay tuned for some more regular posts.

These photos are from a snowboarding shoot up at Big Bear Mountain, in Southern California.
There was so much snow up there this winter. I haven’t seen it like that in about 10-15 years. The Southern California ski mountains aren’t known for their abundance of snow. So you can imagine my surprise when I arrived and the snow banks were taller than me.

This guy was hucking pretty good pulling a styley corked 5

I did a little post production on this image. Reducing the saturation of the sky, I think really brings the focus to the snowboarder.

This jump was huge and guys were boosting.

Same jump as above image but different angle and focal length.

This image was taken at the same jump as the image above but using a different focal length and a different angle. The previous image I was up the hill shooting at 200mm. This image I was right under the take off for the jump, just off center so I could see his face shooting at 60mm (as opposed to 18mm) to isolate the snowboarder without too much background competing.
