Skateboarders

This was shot from hip on complete spur of the moment....Dreadfully exposed but I still kind of like it today. Oh to be young and care free again...

[Graeme Stevens]

Actually a very cool shot you hip shooter you, I like it

[Newbank Lass]

@graemestevens Not quite hip....more down a bit from bosom and right a bit but that as far as I know is not the technical term...

[Sheralee S]

I like the exposure, it really suits the shot.

[Shanne]

fun image (you can always take something like this b&w - this one works well in b&w, I tried - street shots I regularly end up with blown sky and monochrome helps)

[Newbank Lass]

@shannejw I did try as I much prefer b and w normally but wasn't so sure today, though that it lost the detail in the skate boards? Thanks for input, much appreciated.

[Graeme Stevens]

@newbank let's make it a term then.

[Newbank Lass]

@graemestevens sounds good. Though do you really want anything just below and to the right of tour bosom today?

[Newbank Lass]

@graemestevens YOUR

[Debs Stott]

I agree with Graeme, its a very cool perspective

[Eve Pulsater]

Wonderful! I love the way you just peeled off the shot and got such an excellent result

[Delia]

Cool shot

[Graeme Stevens]

@newbank My bosom is just fine thank you, and I think we should call this technique BATROB for Below And To right Of Bosom. It is now an official photography term.

[Newbank Lass]

@graemestevens fantastic. Hope to see a BATROB image from you tomorrow.

[Carl Thomas]

I like it over exposed too, gives a great effect

[Graeme Stevens]

@newbank I believe we're going up the mountain to play in the snow if all goes well...

[Jane Armstrong]

This is a fantastic shot. love your POV and your explanation to @graemestevens as it not exactly been a hip shot!!

[Graeme Stevens]

@motherjane @newbank Yes, but now I have all sorts of peculiar mental images...

[Newbank Lass]

@graemestevens @motherjane you have peculiar images in your head Mr s? You surprise me. Your project is so bog standinly normal I would never have you thought you capable of odd thoughts. Sorry to have unbalanced you.

[Graeme Stevens]

@newbank @motherjane It's your fault you know - you used the B word. And yes, I'm well aware of my boringnessness.

[Newbank Lass]

@graemestevens apologies from the depth of another b word that is also a part of my anatomy.

[Graeme Stevens]

@newbank LOL, touché - you have "double b'd" me and I am speechless. A rarity.

[Newbank Lass]

@graemestevens my lifes work is now complete. And I achieved it all without the help of @gigiflower

[Nancy Ivison]

cool

[Graeme Stevens]

@newbank She is conspicuous by her absence. Still, I shall send you a certificate in due course as a record of your accomplishment ;)

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Cool perspective, must try this.

[Ilona]

Really like your pof and processing fav :)

[Pam Knowler]

Wonderful capture - love the angle of the shot!!

[Sam]

@graemestevens @newbank - Right folks, I'm back. I've had dinner, I've taken some drugs and I'm now having a glass or 200 of red wine. I'm catching up on 365 which does seem to be taking me forever.......and we have gone from swinging sheep in NZ to BOOB shots. I love the word BOOB. I bet @annied loves the word BOOB too. Speaking of being conspicuous be her absence........heelllllooooooo @annied, where are you?

[Diane]

Nice candid shot of the young lads.

[Hazel]

I think it's OK being old and carefree!!! (Not much option!) Interesting pov.

[Annie D]

@gigiflower @graemestevens @newbank oh I was out for a bit - and I too have had a few wines - I do like the word Boob - a palindrome and I think quite onomatopoeic

[Annie D]

I like it - exposed and all - love the PoV

[Annie D]

@graemestevens @newbank @gigiflower btw I do like the new tech term BATROB and will try it out tomorrow

[Sam]

@annied Blimey, after 3 wines I need to look up what those words mean. Please hold :)

[Annie D]

@gigiflower what would you like me to hold?

[Sam]

@annied Agree with both words!

[Annie D]

@gigiflower hahaha I am pleased :)

[Sam]

@annied Oh in the mood I'm in, that is a dangerous question!

[Annie D]

@gigiflower hahaha i thought it may be so of course I had to ask hahahaha

[Penny Price]

Love the crop and the curve of the ground.

[vstap]

Nice tilt and point of view.

[Susan]

I like it. Very real.

[Pete]

Yep - you got away with it! The contrasty effect works well here

[Rachel]

Nice processing and colours!

[Kathie]

And they had no idea. Great hip action

[Keith Russell]

Great perspective, the low angle really makes it cool.

[Margaret Obey]

Great capture

[Arthur Loosley]

This is a superb candid shot. Don't worry about technicalities; they are only of importance to camera clubs and beginners' classes. It's the image that counts, and this one does ... it's a spontaneous natural shot and definitely a FAV for me, so well done indeed!

[Taffy]

I like the spontaneity of shot and the way you've processed it.

[Marnie]

Works well as a high-key. Well done.

[Andy Mcculloch]

Great capture like the low POV.

[Ragnhild :)]

love the pov! great capture

[Roy Burgess]

Great shot, don't worry about the exposure

[Stephanie Swift]

I really like this. I like the way the overexposed road emphasizes the rest of the picture, and the way the tilt suggests the wild and crazy motion these boys are looking forward to. Fav for me. And thanks for the lovely comment you left under my ``In the Green Boudoir`` shot, it really warms my heart!
