its good frozen action, the mind knows that the subjects are moving, often times motion blur in these shots really takes away from the shot, i would try some alternative compositions, centered subjects aren't the best thing to have, although it works sometimes. Also (i shoot skateboarding so this is what i consider when im shooting) with these shots like the 3rd one, usually you want to show the takeoff and landing as reference points even if just a little bit. The 1st 2 are crooked, and to me it doesn't help the shot there, try to line up your verticals, although if you are going for a crooked composition on purpose sometimes it works out. The last thing I would say, although it is difficult to do, is to try to shoot the very peak of the action, usually with bikers, skaters whatever, there is a like a noticeable style when they're at their highest point, the timing is hard to get down but when you get it good it looks pretty sweet.
I know thats a lot of stuff, these shots are pretty decent to me despite everything I said, it's just what I like to shoot and the things I think about when shooting, hope it helps. |
