Don't go thinking this is a fake photo that I made thanks to some super software by mixing several shots, it's 100% natural; I just pressed the trigger while this skate boarder was going down the Quai de Jemmapes during the cruise I took on Saturday evening. And since I'm sure you're really into skateboarding yourself(!), here is the perfect website for you... (including all the spots where to skateboard in Paris!)
PS : reminder: Jeff (a long time visitor to PDP!) is planning a little PDP gathering in Chicago, during Labor Day weekend. if you're around and would like to join him, click here.
LOve IT!

Glad you have a real true visitor to your site! I must get on down to that plane to Chicago. Is that in the US?
ReplyDeleteSee ya
Pretend visitor here
Now that is a cool photo! :) Great shot!
ReplyDeletewell...very interesting. what a risk taker ehhh??
ReplyDeleteFabulous shot Eric! but I will definitely leave skateboarding off my list of to do's in Paris! LOL ... same as riding a scooter! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm the same as Roniece ha ha.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! I posted about skateboarding yesterday too: http://csdailyphoto.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-rocky-mountain-rampage-world-cup.html
ReplyDeleteWOW!!
ReplyDeleteThis is - beyond the shadow of any mid-summer doubt - the hottest shot of this incredible season!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kiki
@Lynn, Ann, Kristie... I'm happy you like this shot because I do too!
ReplyDelete@Virginia. "[...] would love to know what you used Eric." Nothing really, it's just plain luck!
@Julia "Pretend visitor here" Huuuuh... I hear some resentment in your comment! I meant long time, not true as in "real" ;-)
@Tonton "what a risk taker ehhh??" Actually they were two, in the street, among cars. So yes it was a bit dangerous...
@Roniece (and Debs!) " ... same as riding a scooter!" Don't say "fontaine je ne boirai pas de ton eau...)
@Tamara. "I posted about skateboarding yesterday too". I swear I did not copy! I luuuv your first shot.
@Kiki "This is - beyond the shadow of any mid-summer doubt - the hottest shot of this incredible season!" OK, you made my day Kiki! LOL!
Like floating on air. All relation to space is gone, here, only colors remain. This is a very exciting picture.
ReplyDeleteThis capture is stunning with the vivid oranges/yellows and for the stop action of the skateboarder. You rock, Eric! I will not be skateboarding but love to watch and to listen to the sound of the wheels.
ReplyDeleteBises,
Genie
Thanks for the shout out, mon ami. I hope to meet some other PDP fans.
ReplyDeleteI won't be skateboarding either (I feel like I could break something just thinking about it), but I think this shot is vachement chouette! (And please tell me if I should never use that old expression ever again.)
ReplyDelete@Alexa Re "vachement chouette". It's OK, although a bit (out)dated! Kinda like you'd say "it's the gas" or something. But you still can use it, no worries ;-))
ReplyDelete@Genie. You're in Paris right now, aren't you? Will you be at "Roniece's" Vendanges?
@Jeff. I hope you'll get to meet nice people. I wish I would be there, I love Chicago.
@Arr Day ". All relation to space is gone, here, only colors remain." Love that comment ;-)
This is an ultra-cool action shot - love it!
ReplyDeleteOrange is usually my least favorite color, but today, I love it! Stunning picture, Eric, I really am more than a little jealous. :)
ReplyDelete@Jeff, wish I was going to be closer to Chicago over Labor Day!! 6 hours is still a bit too far. Enjoy yourself though, it is supposed to be great weather!
An exceptional photo Eric. It has everything, colour, abstract and a cool subject.
