Skateboarding Photographer Michael Burnett - In Focus

This is a fantastic little video about how to photograph Skateboarding by Michael Burnett I think a lot of the things he says applies to almost all Sporting Photography. Framing a shot is so important. But with sports we do get a little caught up in the athlete and forget to give the image scale and depth. So what are the basic rules??

1: Clear Background if your trying to take a Portrait Style photograph (no background clutter behind the subject).

2: Show the Too and From. Where the Subject or Subjects have come from and where they are going to.

3: Keep It Simple.

I know this is very very basic but if you can understand these 3 basic things, you will take very beautiful photos every time!!
