Invergordon Academy skateboarding lessons

One of my pet projects has landed with a bump on the front page of this week's Ross-shire Journal. I've written before (here) about photographing Invergordon Academy's skateboarding lessons, although after two attempts I still hadn't got the killer action shot that I was looking for. One photo did have something about it though, and with some processing effects it started to look okay.

I'm not intending to make a habit of processing my newspaper pics so heavily. In fact that photo was never intended for print but the editor wanted an action shot and he was happy to use one that had been processed.

This group photo was also used inside the paper, although it appears in black and white which really doesn't do it justice.
