VENICE BEACH ACROBAT
Uploaded: February 11, 2008
Venice Beach shoot. After this athlete built up the crown I filmed his master jump in three bursts and got them all. This image has been slightly cropped and highlight and shadow adjustments with some saturation and high pass filter.

Great capture on this guy, he was very funny. Liked the way they worked the crowd to raise money. #852823Dale Hardin February 12, 2008
He did a great job, didn't he Reynaldo? He should be glad I was busy taking pictures instead of taking off my shirt and putting his abs to shame. #5484217Mitch Spence March 15, 2008
Dale, this is an absolutely terrific shot. The position of the hands, his expression, the definition of the muscles, and, of course, your very nice handling of it. #5645536Dale Hardin March 15, 2008
Thank you Mitch. Yes, I got real lucky with the side light that day to highlight the abs. It was a fun day. #5645859Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
