Skateboarding Shots

August 27th, 2025

    I got pretty lucky this day. The night before this, I realized I could revamp my old Canon EOS-M by having it shoot high-contrast black and white photos. It shoots color fine, but now that I’m spoiled with the Fujifilm color science, the Canon colors don’t hit me in the same way. But the black and white works fine! And it’s sort of fun to have a dedicated black and white digital camera. 
    Josiah Portillo, Jeff Fadness, Ian Bloom, and Evan Brooks were all shredding. I cropped these to 4:5 for Instagram too.  
 

Shot with the 8mm Fisheye, stopped down to f16, at 6400 ISO. I wasn’t even looking at the framing, I was just shooting from the hip, hoping it would work. And it did!
