There were a whole bunch of kids freerunning on the tiny beach on South Bank just under the Festival Pier on Saturday. I wandered down and had a chat with them, they were all about 11-15 but really nice kids. They were gnarly as hell and got stoked about me taking some shots. I didn’t wanna fill up my flickr stream with loads of similar shots, but I still wanted to share a bunch so here they are.
Let me know what you think, also you can check out more of my photos on my flickr.
P.S. You can totally see Kym in the background of the first 3 shots!

I love this series, that photos are brilliant. I just wish you also had some video footage, but what do I think you are? Gadget man?

Thanks Ash, maybe next year when I get a 5D MKII huh? :P
Toby stop it, just get out there and take photos, take as many as you can fit on your memory card, law of averages say that some of them will be good. That’s how I work anyway… :D

Ok Ok your ego massage was your xmas gift.
Would like to read a post about some of your post shoot photoshopping etc nothing that gives away any secrets but just some tips maybe.
Rick
lol thanks, I have a post in draft for getting started with off camera flash photography, so maybe after that post I’ll look at doing one on processing. I don’t really have any secrets, I just like to fiddle with stuff. :D

Love what you did with these shots Rick, what an awesome series.
As far as kids go, these ones were pretty rad.
It was enjoyable just watching them do their thing.

Great photos!
I love that part of the South Bank, there is always so much going on. I’m with Toby would like to know what you do with photoshop afterwards, it’s something I need to start learning about.
