Description


---
This was a shot of a movie being shown by a vendor of EXTREME SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY gear at the PDN PhotoPLUS Expo in New York City. I believe we are looking at a skate boarder "flying" high over an urban scene. Attached to his helmet is a camera shooting video.

Today is the last day of the Trade Show. Leaving in an hour.

WOW! How cool is this, Michelle! At first I thought it was a composite - I couldn't believe it was real!!! Totally amazing that anyone would try this and even more amazing is that you were able to capture it! #10387385

I think I may have unknowingly misled people about the circumstances of this capture, so let me clear this up. I was watching a MOVIE on a big screen at the PDN PhotoPlus EXPO (trade show) in New York City's Javits Convention Center. This is a SHOT I took of that movie screen. While I WISH I could have captured this action live, SOMEONE else did THAT! But it looked so amazing, that I wanted to share my stopped action of this frame from the promotional movie. #10387604
