Glenbrook Skate Park
This wasn't my destination in the Blue Mountains. I actually got lost after forgetting to bring a map. Fortunately, 90% of the roads up there are either dead ends or lead to back to the highway. So I gave up, headed back to Sydney but not before stopping at the Glenbrook Skate Park. There were about 20 kids there and they were kind enough to let me shoot some photos. I've been wanting to give skateboarding a go (as a photo subject) and was surprised and just how much speed these guys get. Tried a lot of different things - overall I'm not thrilled about the sharpness of most of them - I was using the 10d's AI Focus mode - next time I'll use continuous.
The rest of the photos are in my Glenbrook skate park set over on flickr - and I told a few of the kids who asked, how to google their way to my site. Guys - if you are here, thanks for letting me get in your way. Please feel free to give me some names to go with the photos on flickr.
