Parkour (or Freerunning)

[Bilbo_baggin]

Was down on Preston Marina last night and it was getting on a bit so had to ramp the ISO up on the camera to get anything like this...


A lad called Adam was doing all sorts of stuff - freerunning as they call it - and it's French name is Parkour.

Opened the camera up to ISO 3200 to try and keep him frozen in the air and combined the results in to triptychs as this seemed the best way to display the series.


WDYT?

Exif:

ISO 3200, 1/250sec, f/5.6

A nice change from flies and bugs anyway

The 2nd set I feel is the strongest, there's just too much going on in the first one to really make the guy out in the frame, could be a candidate for some colour popping perhaps to help out?

No such problems with the 2nd set, easy to make the guy out apart from a leg missing in a tree, WB slightly different in the 3rd shot on the 2nd image thought?

Cheers Carl.

Third shot MAY have been on a second jump, can't remember if I only fired 2 first time, then he went again and I took just the one when he landed. Would have been 2 or 3 minutes later so light would have changed. Other than that, not sure why.

As you know, not really my kind of shoot, but he was there so fired a few off.

Looks bright, but the 3200 ISO did that - it was really darkish and gloomy, and the noise was visible so had to run some NR as well.

Not to bad for me though.

second one for me too, liking the triptychs too much better than showing them on there own, seen a documentary on parkour they do some serious jumps

second set for me also. In the first the background seems to distracting. Nice attempt.
