Firing Squad: July 27, 2010

By Tim Zimmerman • Jul 27th, 2010 • Category: Latest, Photo Battle

Nothing says Oregon summer like concrete skateparks, and this year, the place to be is Windells concrete jungle. Our challenger got there, and was able to use the radness to get this photo. But does the ridiculous awesomeness of the park translate into a photo that can dethrone our champ? You decide!

    Not too sure about the WB and over saturation on the Champs… I’ve never seen Yellow Concrete

    Ahh, Zim, can you bring back the full res option? That second photo looks to be lit really well, but I can’t really tell when it’s that small. Not to mention the skater is like 10 feet out with a tight grab, and the color and lighting is aesthetically pleasing. I’m going challenger, but not because the champ isn’t a good photo.

    Also, the challenger’s photo file name is Banks, that’s not banks gilberti is it? If so… that kid’s the shit.

    White balance is fine on the champ I think, it seems that the concrete is yellow from the sunset and the yellow street lights

  7. jerm on July 29th, 2010 at 9:30 pm:

    Yellow concrete? I think it’s called a sunset, bro.

    Yeah… I don’t think it’s the sunset that’s making the concrete that color, it’s wack lighting.
