Pic of the Week: Grinding the rail by Scott Campbell
I took this photograph of a skateboarder, Cameron White, at my local skate park Rouken Glen. Having skated for years myself I enjoy shooting action sports.
This was my first day using my new fisheye lens which allows for an extremely wide field of view and I feel this unusual perspective really suits this sport.
I used a Canon 500D with a Sigma 10mm fisheye. The camera was set to manual mode; I used a fast shutter speed of 1/500 second to capture the fast moving subject, an aperture of f5.6 to maintain sharpness and an ISO of 200 to keep subject lit against the harsh sunlight.
