1. The Speedy Skateboarder

“I took this photograph on London’s South Bank in an area frequented by skateboarders, its quite dark but colourful down there, as the skateboarders were moving really fast up an over the concrete bench, I wanted to capture their speed, so I used a slow shutter speed of 1/15 second, when editing in Lightroom , I pushed the colours and lightened the shadow areas, then pushed the grain up to 95 in the Effects section.”
