First picture

      As of now, this is my favourite picture I got of my friend Andrew. Even though it doesn't really show a trick in this picture. The focus is dead on and in my opinion, the plants in the back of the picture make it stand out. In this picture I was going for a more HDR type of look. More crushed blacks so bring the foreground out from the background.


     I got away with saying it was a picture showcasing the Pretty Sweet cruiser which I use to film. Originally I took a sequence of the entire trick that was about 15 pictures. I chose this one out of all 15 because this is the only one that you can see the bottom of the board showing the logo. This was my first picture published online ever. Taken with my 85mm 1.8.

CN Tower/Bridge bubble

     Here is a picture I took of the CN tower at sunset with my fisheye lens. The picture, I think, is pretty awesome. Although, due to the poor lighting, it does not look so good blown up to a large size. The fisheye I use is a Rokinon 8mm 3.5 which is probably my favourite lens of all time. Despite the fact that you must manually set the aperture and it is only manual focus. The lens is great for video and decent for pictures with no strobe flashes.

      My favourite part in the picture is probably how the two buildings on either side of the top corners are bending in towards the middle. Sort of causing it to look like the bridge and CN tower are in the middle of a bubble. Also, the sky was gorgeous at the time I shot this. The sun just went down and the sky was so purple. You can also see the homies walking up the stairs because we were trying to look for some skatable street spots on that rainy day.

Adrian Ramos - Fire hydrant ollie

    Here is probably my first picture I took of Adrian Ramos that I actually really like. Even though it was just an ollie over one of many fire hydrants here in Toronto, the outcome actually looks extremely good. I was able to get this picture featured of the Baker Boys Facebook page which was extremely cool.


    Surprisingly, this was only taken with the on camera flash. Probably 2 stops overexposed as the flash goes. Shot at f3.5 and ISO 1200 I believe. Very simple settings yet the picture turned out amazing.
