Sunset Skater

Rece’s doctor appointment was canceled at the last minute (with us sitting in the waiting room!) so we had some time to spare before picking up Sam for dinner. My first thoughts were to capture the sunset as a reflection off some buildings, but I couldn’t find a building or the right angle to pull it off. We headed down to the same park I took the previous sunset photo to see what we could find.

When we arrived Rece spotted some of his friends from school skating around the park. We asked them if it would be OK for me to snap some pictures of them doing some tricks and they agreed. I have to say that shooting photos in low light situations and trying to capture action is no easy task. I liked the action and framing of this shot, though there were a couple that would have been perfect had I been to the left or right a bit more.

Afterward, we picked up Sam and ate at Johnny’s Burger Joint, a new place not far from where Sam and Christine live. Good burgers and cold (29.7° F) beer really hit the spot.

This entry wishes it could perform a kick flip.
