Harry in the Air at the Skull Bowl

Paul sent this fantastic shot of Harry in the AIR at the Skull Bowl in San Jose. Paul has sent shots made by Steve Potwin (<spotwin@hotmail.com>) before but this one is fantastic. This shot has to be one of the best skateboarding shots of all time - and Harry is the star.

I looked at the EXIF data for this shot; it was shot with a Nikon D300 camera using a 10.5 mm wide angle lens set at f4.0, shutter speed at 1/200. There were two obvious flash units positioned to the left and right of Harry - note the two shadows. All-in-all this shot is a great composition and perfectly exposed. It doesn't get much better than this.

And, from a skateboarding standpoint the same can be said of Harry's skating. It doesn't get much better than this!

  1. Harry's been working up to doing Airs and now he's got it! I love the double shadow on this picture. Steve Potwin takes some great shots. And Harry's been doing some awesome tricks!
