I think my cheap flash triggers are finally dying. Tried to use them the other day at the trails and just didn't feel like working, just like usual. Hopefully I'll have a set of Cybersyncs within the next month though! Anyway, onto some pictures, I had to do a bit of exposure work with these in PS.
I took this pic at Mt. Hood Meadows last spring. Biggest air I've ever seen in real time. I snapped the pic right at the apex. I think it's Tanner Hall, he is a pro. Only 2 people went off this 70 foot table top so it would make sense it was Tanner.
i'm just curious...if i'm interpreting the iran picture correctly.
is the significance in the fact that (presumably i have things right here...) a protester is helping a wounded Iranian riot policeman? if that's what's going on, that is indeed powerful.

that's exactly what's going on
reminds me of this photo from the Tiananman Square protests 20 years ago

You have some cool ideas but if you have a class at your highschool that covers the technical aspects of photography (subject placement, lighting, exposure settings etc...) I would suggest you take it. Like I said, you have some cool ideas but your tech is a little off.

I disagree, I think photography classes are overrated and suck the life out of photography in terms of individualism. Study some youtube videos or guides on the net for technical info.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree 100% with that... Photography classes do not limit you in any way but they teach you how to improve your photographs. Art is a philosophy and just like all philosophy, there are ways that make more sense than others. This doesn't make all other ways wrong but there are more efficient and aesthetically pleasing ways to portray your photography. If you take a class you will learn how to properly expose a photo, you will learn how to place a subject to make the photo less scattered and you will learn so many different techniques to take some really cool shots. None of the things you learn you will be forced to use but they are very useful suggestions.

I took classes from a local studio with one of its photographers. There were never more than 6 people in them. We learned basic camera functions but it was mostly on whats out there. He would pick several past well known photgraphers and give us a background on them. You know, like when they stated how they started and what was their techniques..etc. Then we would choose an assignment based on one or more of the ones we went over and mimic from or be inspired from using local landscapes etc. Then we would critique ourselves during the first portion of the following class. Totally fun and worth it.
I understand what Mx is saying, my instructor totally digged my "alley" shots and very much incouraged me to continue them. In fact never did he say "no." He wanted us to just shoot and shoot and let us explore.
So check out to see if you have classes like that offered from the local and or nearest studio. The one I went to is a non profit in a cool 70 year old 3 story house.
