Surfing Waves

So me and a buddy were skating around downtown yesterday, just cruzing. Anyways, I grabbed my camera just incase we came across anything cool. Well we came to a parking lot and this dude was doing some crazy flatland biking, so I asked if he wanted some pics and started shooting.

Some of these are kinda cool. What do ya'll think? I feel like I need to edit them, but I don't have any ideas. Here are two out of about 20.

Great photos, not my kind of bike though, no engine !

nice pics...I have never been able to get ahold of the flatland stuff...I can trackstand on my moutain bike for about a minute, thats it though..

Do you mean something like this





or more seriously

Ah Flatland, my best trick I can do on my BMX is balancing a full Tesco bag on the bars, chatting on my phone and moaning about how dangerous the drivers are around here, (I knocked a cyclist of his bike with my car before Christmas, but he forgave me after kicking a dent in the door ).

Anyway, I like the first one as it is, the high buildings, the subject large in the foreground, composition and all that jazz.

Bahaha, I like both your pics there Northswell. V.impressed at the professional, quick edit on the first pic there tho Had to look once...

Haha, sweet edit NS.

I like the second, did you just crop and then desaturate?

magic eraser?

I'm a pro just wanted to do something quick. I use fireworks don't really have a clue what i'm doing on it though.

I'm not on the laptop so not sure which things i klicked for the second one, but yep just cropped it and fiddled a little.

Cool, here's this one I've been playing with for a couple minutes.

o0o bmx!!
that guy looks prettty good!!
for some reason i was expecting road biking. dont ask, im in a wierd mood today.

I love how the first one is framed. I would maybe tweek the levels in photoshop to bring up the darks a little...

How difficult would it be to get rid of the telephone pole and wires?

Yeah they are a little distracting, I'll look into it, I doubt I could pull that magic though

Im loving the 2nd 1 where the bike is in a sort of 'cross' with the building going down and the tarmac going across if that makes any sense???? But maybe in b&w.

Actually, no, it didnt

But, hey, its art - we're all supposed to get different things out of it


So wish I could do that properly.....
