Justin - I have been away from usefilm.com for awhile and was surprised to receive a comment on my Aerial Bike photo. You are, of course, correct. Karl, the rider was doing a 360 off a quarter pipe when I snapped the photo. I had been photographing Karl for about two years and was very familiar with his riding. I had a new flash, a Nikon SB-80DX, that day and had set the camera to shutter priority and rear-curtain sync. I was leaning against the quarter pipe. His front wheel was literally inches from me and I took the photo at the right moment. I still do skateboard photography which I have photographed for about six years. While I still shoot film, I started to shoot digital with a Nikon D70. I had been worried about shutter lag with digital but that is not a problem with the D70. I continue to use film due to the telephoto factor of the D70 as I am a wide angle shooter. I have looked at your photos - they are very good. Thank you for your comment.

It is so good seeing great BMX photography on here. And super wide angle is the only way to go. Great job!!

I like seeing skateboard shots in B&W. I also like the low angle of this one. The effect of the overhead lights is interesting.

Good street photography. Isn't the 24mm about a 35 on the D-100? I think 35mm is the best overall street focal lenght there is.

Great street shot. There is something in it that makes Pino likable and I like the general mood. Thank you for your comments on JFK. I was such an idealist and optimist at 15. Now I still try - but is so hard to keep the cynicism at bay.

This one is really good Scott. Why you haven't gotten more credit it for it I don't know. The Auora was really amazing up here in Montana. As far as suggestions for night sky photos - do what do - experiment. It seems to work. Post more as I am a night sky buff.

I do like your photos Ryan - surely a filter was used with this one? The book on derelict buildings I was referring to is "Gone: Photographs of Abandonment on the High Plains" by Steve Fitch.

Ryan - I saw a book recently of photographs of derelict buildings and I thought of doing that myself. This is a good one with the house straght or almost straight - the road leaning to the left and the porch leaning to the right. I like it.
