LG Action Sport - Paris Trocadéro

best viewed large & with dark background
The picture was taken this afternoon (sunday 3/09) at the Skateboard & rollerblades contest organized at the Trocadéro this week-end.

Spending my time on flickr... I've almost missed this event :-)). I hope you like contrast. This kind of sport need heavy contrasted pictures (& the weather was so grey, keeping it in colour would have made terribly boring pictures).

Very nice.
He seem to be using the tower to balance, good timing.
Angle, B&W and cotrast help to make it more interesting.

many thanks for all your comments ! Yes Daniel I noticed the guy was cheating using the eiffel tower for his trick.
--> I immediately complained to the judges, showing them the proof of it with the screen on the back of my D-SLR : we don't stop the progress ;-)))

A great way to photograph the local tourist attractions! The tower works great for the composition and the method rocks.
