Skateboarding Photography.

in #photography5 years ago

Good day to all!!

Sharing with you some of the skate photos I have over the years skating here in Abu Dhabi City. As I have mentioned before, I have been here for five and a half years now, and all my hobby is skateboarding. I love the places and the spots and I rarely get kicked out of the spot. I have these pictures here in my phone and I thought why not share it here and let people see what this city have to offer in terms of skateboarding. So here goes!!

First of course is in my favorite ledge spot. I mentioned this spot in a separate blog. The Corniche ledges. Here’s a nosegrind.

Sunset here is always great.

This spot is behind the world trade center mall. Knee high ledges, all I did was a nose stall. Haha

Fakie to 5050 at a spot in Corniche beach. This ledge is curved, so much fun doing tricks here!

This one is a crooked grind at what we call as the “Garden” spot. That high ledge was a battle. Almost got my batteries drained when I filmed this. Little sketchy but gladly I did it though.

Front lip at corniche beach. I rarely go at this spot, but this spot is great. This photo was taken two years ago by DJ.

Here is me in front of a “Baqala” store trying to cool myself down with water. The Middle East can be so hot during summer!

All photos taken by myself, DJ and TJ.
Filmed and shot by a Goprohero4, iphone7plus, and a Goprohero6.
I edited some of the photos using Snapseed App.

Hope you like my blog entry!

Cheers!

Very cool skateboarding photography! Love how these shots almost look frozen in space and time despite that the poses must have been dynamic poses... <3

Thank you @veryspider! I appreciate your comment!
