      And it's a BS Smith... even more difficult.
      Kudos to the rider and the photographer!

      Very nice (trick and photo). What are you shooting with? What kind of continuous shooting fps do you get? My current camera is a prosumer point and shoot and I only get 1.5fps, which is kind of slow for stuff like this. I am looking at a Nikon D80 which gets 3fps. Wondering if that is going to be fast enough or if I have to go for something faster like the Nikon D200 which gets 5fps.

      I think this was done with the d50 at 2.5 fps. I have a d70 also with 3 fps; but it is still too slow to catch kickflips. Get the d200 it should work. Note that you have to have the high speed memory card to get the max frame rate.

      Hey man great sequence

      ive tried shooting this before

      but could you tell me how you were able to keep the shadows in without cutting them out? i always had my picture looking weird ( no shadows)

      thanks

      Maybe you already figured it out. When you isolate the skater for the composite you also have to isolate the shadow. This can be hard to composite as the shadows overlap. If you choose a blend mode of darken only the darkest shadow will show through and look realistic. Hopefully this helps.
