Shot #30

I had intended taking a shot of an old building.  I'd got myself all worked up to do this, but it just never happened.  I then drove past some talented kids at a skate park and took shots of them playing on bikes and skateboards ... bound to have a shot here I thought.

Not that easy as it happens to get a shot of people you've never met before doing something you know nothing about, but I tried and had quite a bit of fun in the process!

The kids were great and I reckon I'll head back again and try some more shots.

I didn't want to get too close to the kids, but wanted a shallow depth of field.  I also wanted a fast shutter to freeze them in mid air.

Hand held, 50mm lens, f2.8, 1/8000sec ISO 800

What do you think (there's a few more shote here btw.)?
