I was exploring Baguio City on New Year's eve for any photo opportunities that will allow me to showcase parts of Baguio which is less known to the tourists. I walked towards Harrison Road - and ended up in a parking lot next to the Melvin Jones stadium. Apparently - there are inline skaters who hang out in that area. I asked one of them if I can take pictures of them - and he said yes.
Action shots are not easy to photograph. You need a fast shutter speed if you want to freeze the action. It would be nice to have shallow depth of field to highlight the person/figure in action and blur the background - but since the subject is moving there's a risk of having the subject move out of focus. Because of these conditions, I decided to set my aperture wide open. The settings of my camera for these shots are mostly at an aperture of f/10 and a shutter speed of 1/500. I decided to have the final photos in black and white.
