The first two shots were the hardest to set up because I was directly battling the sun. For the 4th image light placement was pretty intuitive to me actually (my lighting skills are expanding!) I talked to the skater to get a general idea of the trick before hand. We tried it probably five times before we ended with this shot. (I blew the timing on the others!)
I'm certainly no expert at action photography, but I think it's fun. I guess my only advice (for me as well) is talk to the skater/biker/rollerblader/whatever! and get an understanding of the trick. I find that when I shoot action "documentary" style, without having a plan, my images suffer. Talking to the rider and understanding the trick are what made the fourth image possible for me.
Thanks again!
