Today is our last day in St. George but before we left I wanted to check out the St. George skatepark. Or as they call it the SK8 George skatepark (insert laugh here). The last time I skated that park was back in the day with my buddy Skyler and the whole time we were there it rained, so it was nice to have the dry concrete. I knew before even setting up the shot that I wanted to shoot it with my fisheye lens on a quarter pipe. Just so I could get that cool distortion you get with those lenses. So lucky for me I found a quarter pipe that I could put my sun to my back and some flashes in front to fill in the shadows. My dad was a real trooper with this shot, he laid on the ground with the camera for a good 30 photos (thank you dad).

Trigger man: JR Thompson

Strobist: One SB600 to camera right. Another SB800 on camera for fill.

Camera info: Nikon D700 | 16mm ƒ/2.8 Fisheye | ƒ/14 | 1/250th | Triggered with CS.
